Langenbeck Surgical Retractor 21.6 cm (8.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Langenbeck retractor is a handheld surgical instrument used to gently hold tissue aside and support exposure during operative work. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach for positioning within the surgical field, while the 1 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch blade offers a defined contact surface for localized retraction. The hollow handle supports familiar manual handling during procedures where controlled placement and repositioning are important. Suitable for workflows in Cardiovascular, General Surgery, and Plastic Surgery, this retractor can help organize access around the operative site without adding unnecessary complexity to routine instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Support manual tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures requiring localized exposure.
• Assist with positioning and access around the operative field in Cardiovascular surgery workflows.
• Provide controlled handheld retraction during Plastic Surgery procedures where precise instrument placement is useful.
• Use the defined blade profile to hold tissue aside while maintaining a clear working area.
