Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Langenbeck Retractor is a versatile surgical instrument designed for precise soft tissue retraction in general, orthopedic, plastic, and maxillofacial procedures. Featuring a flat, right-angled blade, this instrument allows secure tissue displacement while maintaining a clear surgical field, reducing trauma to surrounding structures.
- Right-Angled Blade for Controlled Retraction: Provides stable and effective tissue displacement with minimal trauma.
- Multiple Blade Sizes for Versatility: Available in 30 x 11 mm, 30 x 14 mm, 30 x 16 mm, 40 x 11 mm, and 50 x 11 mm variations to ensure adaptability to various surgical needs.
- Open-Loop Handle for Lightweight Maneuverability: Allows easy handling and superior control, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.
- Optimized for Soft Tissue Retraction: Ensures precise exposure of underlying structures without excessive pressure.
- 21 cm (8 1/4") Length: Provides maneuverability in confined space.
Applications:
- General Surgery: Used to hold back soft tissues for optimal visualization of deeper structures.
- Orthopedic Surgery: Provides exposure to bones, joints, and tendons in fracture repairs and joint procedures.
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Assists in delicate tissue manipulation for facial and body contouring procedures.
- Maxillofacial and Dental Surgery: Commonly used for oral and jaw procedures, ensuring clear access to surgical sites.
- Neurosurgery: Used in cranial and spinal procedures where controlled retraction is essential.
- Hip Replacement: Provides stable retraction of muscles and soft tissues, ensuring optimal exposure of the femoral head and acetabulum during hip replacement surgery.
- Laminectomy: Assists in retracting paraspinal muscles, allowing clear access to the lamina and spinal cord during laminectomy procedures.
- Abdominal Surgery: Used to retract abdominal wall layers and soft tissues, facilitating better visualization during various abdominal procedures.
The Langenbeck Retractor was named after Bernhard von Langenbeck, a pioneering German surgeon known for advancements in surgical techniques and instrumentation. It is also known as a Langenbeck Soft Tissue Retractor.
