Description:
This is another designation for the classic Weitlaner design but often refers to larger, heavy-duty versions used in general and orthopedic surgery. Its defining feature is the ratchet-locking mechanism that secures tissue retraction throughout lengthy procedures. Larger self-retaining variants are often chosen for abdominal and orthopedic operations where wide exposure must be maintained. Surgeons value this design for its ability to free their hands while keeping tissues stable, reducing surgical fatigue and improving procedural efficiency. With both blunt and sharp prong styles available, the self-retaining Weitlaner is versatile enough to meet the demands of virtually any surgical environment.
