Product Description

The B-Z Weitlaner Retractor is a specialized, deep-access self-retaining surgical retractor engineered to provide powerful, hands-free exposure in demanding orthopedic, spinal, and deep general surgical procedures. Designed with an extended 28 cm overall length, this instrument allows surgical teams to maintain a broad operative corridor in deep cavities without assistant fatigue.

Built for heavy muscular retraction, this B-Z Weitlaner Retractor configuration features a 90-degree angled chassis that keeps the ring handles positioned completely flat against patient contours, freeing the surgical corridor for power tools and microscopes. Its working end is equipped with 83 mm deep blades featuring a 4×4 blunt prong configuration, providing exceptional tissue grip while minimizing trauma to adjacent neural and vascular structures. The integrated mechanical ratchet locks securely at variable widths.

Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the B-Z Weitlaner Retractor to strict clinical tolerances, ensuring smooth ratchet engagement, high corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the B-Z Weitlaner Retractor?

The B-Z Weitlaner Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 83 mm deep blades, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 28 cm (approx. 11 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the B-Z Weitlaner Retractor used for?

The B-Z Weitlaner Retractor is used in deep orthopedic and spinal surgery to separate and hold thick muscle layers, providing an unencumbered visual field without requiring manual assistance.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for lumbar spine fusion, laminectomy, hip arthroplasty revisions, deep pelvic osteotomies, and posterior spinal trauma stabilization.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses glare from surgical headlights and operating microscopes.

Is the B-Z Weitlaner Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire B-Z Weitlaner Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The box lock hinge and ratchet teeth should be lubricated regularly.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

This is a one-piece hinged self-retaining instrument supplied as a complete unit. Multiple units can be purchased as open-stock inventory to equip spinal and orthopedic trays.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides sharp prong options, altered blade depths, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.

What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?

In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
