WEITLANER 20 cm retractor: precision, stability and safety in surgery
The WEITLANER 20 cm surgical retractor from Frimed is an essential instrument in the operating theatre for the automatic and prolonged retraction of soft tissue. It is a self-static model, which means that it locks in the open position thanks to a ratchet mechanism, freeing the practitioner's hands for other surgical procedures. This design saves time and increases efficiency, while ensuring perfect stability of the opening.
This model is equipped with asymmetrical 3x4 jaws with blunt teeth, allowing gentle, non-traumatic retraction, suitable for sensitive areas of the human body. The jaws are carefully profiled to hold tissue without risk of injury, even during prolonged use. The central locking system is simple to use, thanks to a notched rack that maintains the desired width.
The slightly curved shape of the instrument allows it to adapt naturally to the anatomical curves of the patient, optimising visual and surgical access. The instrument also features ring handles for easy handling and positioning. With a length of 20 cm, this model is particularly suitable for medium or deep incisions, such as those encountered in orthopaedic, neurosurgical or trauma surgery.
Made of surgical stainless steel, the WEITLANER retractor is resistant to corrosion and high-temperature sterilisation processes. It combines robustness, durability and reliability, while ensuring patient and practitioner safety. This model stands out for its ability to hold tissue independently, making it the tool of choice in any demanding operating environment.
