Product Overview
Weitlaner Retractor Sharp provides self-retaining retraction across shallow surgical exposures. Offered in multiple prong counts and lengths, it uses pointed, outwardly angled prongs that anchor into fibrous tissue and periosteum to resist sliding under pressure. An integrated ratchet lock on the finger-ring handle maintains chosen spreading spans, enabling surgeons to work without manual assistant support throughout complex dissections.
Key Features:
• Pointed prongs grip dense tissue firmly to prevent displacement during active retraction.
• Ratchet lock secures opening widths to eliminate manual holding during procedures.
• Multiple variations fit diverse incision depths and surface exposures.
• Surgical-grade steel composition resists wear across repeated steam decontamination cycles.
Uses & Applications:
• Retracts tough tissue to expose bone during joint and spine surgery.
• Maintains clear access to the temporal bone in mastoid operations.
• Spreads dense fascial planes in herniotomy and bypass grafting.
