Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor Angled 8.2 cm (3.2)

Controlled Retraction with Clear, Practical Access

The B-Z Weitlaner retractor is a self-retaining surgical retractor designed to hold tissue apart while supporting a stable working view. Its 11-inch length and 3 1/4-inch depth provide useful reach for applications requiring access beyond the immediate incision, while the angled 90º profile helps position the instrument within the operative field. Four-by-four blunt prongs are intended for controlled tissue engagement, and the ring handle with lock supports adjustment and retention during the task. This configuration can fit varied workflows across cardiovascular, ENT, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic settings without being limited to one specialty.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction during general surgery when a self-retaining instrument is appropriate for maintaining access.
• Assist cardiovascular procedures requiring a longer retractor profile and stable positioning within the operative field.
• Support exposure tasks in ENT and neurosurgery where angled access and blunt prongs are relevant to instrument placement.
• Assist orthopedic procedures requiring retraction across a deeper operative area.
• Use the ring handle and lock to position and maintain the retractor while the surgical team works within the exposed field.

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for surgical instruments.
• Inspect the blunt prongs, angled working end, ring handle, and lock for visible soil, damage, distortion, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the prongs and locking mechanism carefully to avoid bending, impact, or unnecessary force during cleaning and transport.
• Store the retractor in a manner that protects the prongs and allows the lock and handle to remain free from damaging contact.
