Weitlaner Surgical Retractor

This Weitlaner retractor is a surgical instrument from the SUSI single-use instrument series from Aesculap. The surgical retractor is made from a fibreglass-reinforced, high-performance polymer and is simply disposed of after use. These retractors are mainly used in visceral surgery or trauma surgery, but are also used in other surgical specialities, such as urology or neurosurgery, when tissue has to be retracted over a large area for a longer period of time to allow a free surgical field. The semi-sharp surgical instruments have 3 x 4 teeth, whereby the sides with 3 teeth are blunt and those with 4 teeth are sharp.
