Description:
The self-retaining Weitlaner Retractor is the core design feature that sets this instrument apart from manual retractors. Once inserted and spread, its ratcheted arms lock securely in place, holding the prongs apart without the need for a surgical assistant. This allows the surgeon to maintain a clear, stable operative field for extended periods while keeping both hands free for dissection and repair. Self-retaining models are available across multiple sizes and prong configurations, making them suitable for procedures ranging from minor soft tissue surgeries to major orthopedic and neurosurgical operations. Their efficiency and ability to maintain consistent retraction make them one of the most widely used retractors in modern surgical practice.
