Langenbeck Surgical Retractor 21.6 cm (8.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Langenbeck retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to gently hold tissue aside and help maintain access to the operative field. Its 8 1/2-inch length supports practical reach, while the 1 1/2-inch x 3/8-inch blade provides a defined contact surface for focused retraction. The hollow handle is shaped for controlled instrument handling during procedures where steady positioning and clear visualization are important. Suitable for use across cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows, this retractor supports organized exposure and efficient instrument control without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical field.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue to help maintain access and visualization during general surgical procedures.
• Support focused exposure in cardiovascular surgical workflows where a hand-held retractor is appropriate.
• Assist with controlled tissue retraction during plastic surgery procedures requiring a defined blade profile.
• Use the 8 1/2-inch length to help position the blade while maintaining a practical hand position outside the immediate operative site.
• Incorporate into surgical instrument sets for procedures requiring straightforward, manual retraction.
