Langenbeck Surgical Retractor 21.6 cm (8.5) - 80x16mm Blade

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Operative Access

The 8 1/2" Kocher-Langenbeck Retractor 80x16mm is a surgical retractor designed to support manual tissue retraction and maintain access within the operative field. Its 8.5" overall length provides practical reach for positioning, while the 80x16mm blade/prong size offers a defined working surface for controlled retraction. Suitable for workflow needs in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it can help organize exposure during procedures where stable instrument placement and careful tissue handling are important. The familiar Kocher-Langenbeck pattern supports deliberate positioning by the surgical team without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Support manual retraction during general surgical procedures requiring organized access to the operative field.
• Assist with controlled exposure in neurosurgical workflows where careful positioning and visualization are important.
• Use the 8.5" overall length to help reach the intended working area during operative setup.
• Position the 80x16mm blade/prong surface for focused retraction according to the surgeon's technique and procedural requirements.
