Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor 11.4 cm (4.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Operative Access

The 4 1/2" Chung Weitlaner Retractor 25mm is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and help maintain access within an operative field. Its compact 4.5" overall length supports close handling when working around localized anatomy, while the 25mm size provides a defined retraction option for procedures requiring focused exposure. Suitable across general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows, it can help organize the field and reduce the need for continuous manual retraction during appropriate tasks. Its familiar Weitlaner format supports practical instrument selection for controlled tissue positioning and efficient procedural handling.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during general surgery procedures requiring focused operative exposure.
• Assist with maintaining access around delicate or confined anatomical areas in neurosurgical workflows.
• Help hold tissue aside during orthopedic procedures where a compact retractor is appropriate for the operative field.
• Provide a practical option for positioning tissue while the surgical team performs tasks requiring sustained access and visualization.
