Gelpi Self-Retaining Retractor — 11.4 cm (4.5 in)

The Gelpi self-retaining retractor is a dependable instrument for holding tissue edges apart during surgical procedures. Its 11.4 cm (4.5 in) length offers a balanced reach for superficial to moderately deep exposures, while the ratcheted handle locks the jaws in place to free the surgeon's hands.

Built for repeated sterilization and daily use, this retractor supports efficient workflow and consistent performance in general, orthopedic, and minor surgical cases.
