Product Overview & Comparison

Weitlaner Retractor (3×4 Prongs): Self-Retaining Control for Surgical Exposure

The Weitlaner Retractor (3×4 Prongs) is a versatile, self-retaining finger-ring instrument widely used to hold back soft tissues and maintain clear visualization of the surgical site. Featuring opposing curved shanks and interdigitating prongs (3 on one blade, 4 on the other), it secures a firm hold on tissue edges.

Equipped with a smooth cam-ratchet locking mechanism, the retractor locks into position once deployed, freeing the surgeon’s hands during delicate procedures such as plastic, orthopedic, and cranial bone-harvesting operations.
