Weitlaner Retractor, Solid Blade, 13cm, 18mm Deep — Overview

The Weitlaner Retractor, Solid Blade, 13cm, 18mm Deep (S17-120-13) is a Weitlaner-pattern self-retaining retractor with solid, blunt blades rather than pronged tips, for atraumatic tissue retraction.

Solid Blade Design

Its solid, 18mm-deep blunt blades distribute retraction pressure across a broad surface rather than discrete points, reducing tissue trauma compared to pronged versions.

Clinical Use

Used across general and plastic surgery to hold incisions open hands-free where a blunt, atraumatic blade is preferred over sharp prongs.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan for a durable, reliable ratchet mechanism.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. The ratchet and blade edges should be inspected before each use.
