Langenbeck Surgical Retractor 21.6 cm (8.5) - 20x6mm Blade

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Finger-Ring Handling

The Langenbeck retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to provide tissue retraction and support visualization within an operative field. Its 8 1/2-inch overall length offers practical reach, while the 1 1/8-inch x 1/2-inch blade is suited to focused retraction in compatible surgical access tasks. The finger ring handle supports controlled manual positioning during procedures, helping clinicians maintain a steady instrument hold as the field is exposed. Appropriate for varied applications across Cardiovascular, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Plastic Surgery, this retractor fits workflows that require deliberate, localized tissue displacement without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue manually to support visualization during general surgical procedures.
• Provide controlled exposure in cardiovascular operative workflows where a hand-held retractor is appropriate.
• Assist with localized retraction during neurosurgical procedures requiring careful instrument positioning.
• Support focused tissue retraction in plastic surgery procedures.
• Use the finger ring handle to position and adjust the retractor during compatible open surgical tasks.
