Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor 28.0 cm (11")

Angled Retractor Access for Controlled Surgical Exposure

The 11" B-Z Weitlaner Retractor 45° is a self-retaining surgical retractor intended to hold tissue aside and support exposure during operative procedures. Its Weitlaner-style configuration and 45° angle provide a practical approach for maintaining access while the surgical team works within the field. The 11-inch overall length supports reach into operative sites where added instrument length is useful. Suitable for applications in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this retractor can help organize the operative field and reduce the need for continuous manual retraction during appropriate procedures. Its focused design supports consistent handling across exposure-focused surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with maintaining access within deeper or more confined operative fields where an 11-inch instrument is appropriate.
• Provide angled retraction for exposure-focused tasks in Neurosurgery.
• Help maintain a clear working area during procedures requiring sustained retraction.
• Use as part of a coordinated surgical instrument setup for controlled tissue positioning.
