Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a Weitlaner Retractor used for?
A: Weitlaner Retractor is a self-retaining retractor designed to retain the position of the wound during general surgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery and neurosurgery. It is an excellent tool in laminectomy, bone and joint surgery, femoropopliteal bypass, herniotomy, mastoid surgery, and plastic surgery procedures where reliable, atraumatic retraction is necessary for soft tissue without having to be continually held.
Q: What is the length of Grey Medical’s Weitlaner Retractor?
A: Grey Medical’s Weitlaner Retractor comes in 4½” (11.43cm), 5″ (12.7cm) and 5½” (13.97cm) sizes, which allow for use with shallow to moderately deep incisions in a variety of surgical procedures and patient body types.
Q: How does a Self-Retaining Retractor differ from other retractors?
A: The Solid Blades Weitlaner Retractor is similar to the pronged Weitlaner Retractor, but instead of sharp or blunt prongs, this version employs smooth, atraumatic solid blades – making it an excellent choice for retracting soft or fibrous tissues where prongs may pierce or damage tissues. Its self-retaining ratchet lock feature allows the wound to remain open without having to be held open by the surgeon or assistant – enabling both to focus on other aspects of the procedure, and the downward-facing, curved blades securely grip the wound edges without the need for continuous manual pressure to maintain the retraction.
Q: What is the Weitlaner Retractor made from?
A: The Weitlaner Retractor is made from premium German stainless steel, to ensure that the instrument is resistant to corrosion, has a long lifetime, and can be sterilised in an autoclave using standard sterilisation cycles.
Q: Can the Weitlaner Retractor be autoclaved?
