Langenbeck Surgical Retractor 21.6 cm (8.5) - 50x11mm Blade

Focused Retraction for Controlled Operative Access

The 8 1/2" Langenbeck Retractor 50x11mm is a retractor designed to hold tissue aside and help maintain operative access during hands-on procedures. Its 8.5" overall length provides practical reach for positioning, while the 50x11mm blade or prong size supports focused retraction within the surgical field. In General Surgery, it can assist with maintaining visibility during tissue exposure and access. Its defined proportions also make it relevant to Neurosurgery workflows requiring careful, localized retraction. The straightforward configuration supports familiar handling and efficient instrument selection without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative setup.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue to help maintain access and visualization during General Surgery procedures.
• Support localized exposure where a 50x11mm blade or prong is appropriate for the working area.
• Assist Neurosurgery workflows that require controlled, focused tissue retraction.
• Use the 8.5" overall length to position the instrument at a practical working reach during open procedures.
