Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor | BENZ Surgical Retractors | Frago Impex

The Weitlaner Retractor by BENZ is a premium self-retaining surgical instrument designed to deliver stable and hands-free tissue retraction during a wide range of procedures. Featuring outward-curving pronged blades (available in sharp or blunt tips) with configurations like 2×3 or 3×4 prongs, it allows precise exposure of surgical sites while minimizing tissue trauma.

Equipped with a ratchet locking mechanism and finger-ring handles, the Weitlaner Retractor locks securely in the open position, freeing the surgeon and assistants from continuous manual retraction. Its design makes it ideal for surgical specialties such as general surgery, orthopedics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, bone & joint work, and even mastoid or neurosurgery where small, deep incisions require stable exposure.

Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, it is corrosion-resistant, fully autoclavable, and built for repeated use. Multiple sizes (lengths and prong depths) allow you to choose the version that best suits your surgical need — shallow wounds or deeper exposures. The flat finish helps reduce glare under operating lights, ensuring better visibility.

Key Uses:

• Maintaining exposure in abdominal, orthopedic, and plastic surgery
