Gelpi Self-Retaining Retractor Angled 26.7 cm (10.5)

Controlled Retraction with Extended Reach and Secure Handling

The Gelpi retractor is a self-retaining surgical instrument designed to hold tissue or wound edges apart during procedures, helping maintain an open working field while the team concentrates on the operative task. Its 10 1/2-inch overall length and 3 1/2-inch working length provide useful reach, while the 90º angled profile supports access in areas where alignment and visibility matter. Sharp 4x4 teeth engage the retraction site, and the ring handle with speed lock supports controlled positioning. Suitable for varied workflows in General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedic procedures, it offers a practical configuration for sustained retraction and instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Maintaining separation of tissue or wound edges during General Surgery procedures.
• Supporting access and field exposure in Neurosurgery workflows where the angled profile and extended reach are useful.
• Holding operative edges apart during Orthopedic procedures requiring a self-retaining retractor.
• Using the ring handle and speed lock to position and maintain the retractor during a procedure.
• Applying the sharp 4x4 teeth where secure engagement with the retraction site is required.
