Gelpi Self-Retaining Retractor Angled 26.7 cm (10.5)

Controlled Exposure with Practical Reach and Secure Handling

The Gelpi retractor is a self-retaining surgical retractor designed to hold wound edges apart and support access during procedures. Its 10 1/2-inch working length provides reach, while the 3-inch, 90º angled configuration helps position the blunt 1x1 teeth at the operative site. A ring handle supports controlled manipulation, and the speed lock helps maintain the selected opening during hands-on workflow. Suitable for use across General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedic applications, this retractor offers a practical combination of access, positioning, and sustained retraction without requiring continuous manual holding.

Use Cases

• Maintain wound-edge separation during General Surgery procedures where self-retaining retraction supports access.
• Support exposure in Neurosurgery workflows requiring controlled positioning around the operative field.
• Assist with access during Orthopedic procedures involving soft-tissue or wound-edge retraction.
• Use the angled 90º configuration to position the blunt teeth where a direct approach is less convenient.
• Adjust and secure the retractor opening with the ring handle and speed lock during procedural handling.
