6 1/2" Weitlaner Retractor blunt prong 3×4

Controlled Retraction for Consistent Operative Access

The 6 1/2" Weitlaner Retractor is a self-retaining surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and help maintain an accessible operative field during hands-on procedures. Its blunt 3×4 prong configuration provides a broad, controlled point of contact for practical retraction in General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. The 6 1/2" size offers a compact format for working near the operative site while supporting direct handling and visualization. By maintaining separation without requiring continuous manual positioning, this instrument can help streamline exposure and keep attention focused on the surgical task.

Use Cases

• Maintain tissue retraction during general surgical procedures requiring a stable operative field.
• Support access and visualization in neurosurgical workflows where controlled, localized retraction is needed.
• Use the blunt prongs for practical tissue positioning during open operative exposure.
• Apply the 3×4 prong configuration when a broader retraction contact area is appropriate for the task.
