12 Wiltse-Gelpi Retractor sharp 4 Deep

Controlled Retraction for Deep Operative Access

The 12" Wiltse-Gelpi Retractor, sharp and 4" deep, is designed to draw tissue aside and help maintain access during operative exposure. Its sharp tip configuration supports secure engagement at the retraction site, while the 12" overall length provides reach for deeper fields. In General Surgery, it can support exposure across procedures requiring sustained access around the operative site. In Neurosurgery, its deep profile and Wiltse-Gelpi design may assist with focused exposure where controlled retraction is needed. The instrument offers a practical combination of reach, depth, and tip configuration for organized surgical handling.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure in General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with focused access to deeper operative fields using the 4" deep profile.
• Support controlled exposure during Neurosurgery workflows where a sharp-tip retractor is appropriate.
• Use the 12" length when additional reach is useful around the operative site.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp tips and retractor surfaces before and after use for damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the tips carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help prevent accidental damage.
• Store the instrument securely so the sharp tips are protected from contact with other instruments.
