Product Description
The Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor is an internationally acclaimed self-retaining surgical spreader engineered specifically to provide dependable, hands-free soft-tissue and periosteal retraction in confined surgical corridors. Designed with outward-curving multi-prong jaws and an integrated mechanical ratchet lock, this instrument maintains constant, calibrated counter-traction across opposing wound margins, eliminating assistant hand fatigue while preserving an open visual field under operating microscopes.
Built to withstand frequent sterilization and autoclaving protocols, this Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor series features an extensive sizing matrix across ten overall lengths: 4″ ($44), 4 ¼″ ($49), 4 ½″ ($54), 5 ⅛″ ($59), 5.5″ ($64), 6″ ($69), 6 ½″ ($74), 8″ ($79), 9 ½″ ($84), and 10″ ($89). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the instrument offers Straight or Curved jaw arm profiles paired with 2×2, 2×3, 3×3, or 3×4 prong density options. Surgeons can select Blunt tips optimized for safe, extra-atraumatic retraction near sensitive vascular pathways, or Sharp tips engineered to deliver an unyielding, non-slip purchase on tougher dermal or fascial layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor?
The Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Blunt tips (atraumatic vascular safety) or Sharp tips (non-slip fascial grip), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 4″ ($44), 4 ¼″ ($49), 4 ½″ ($54), 5 ⅛″ ($59), 5.5″ ($64), 6″ ($69), 6 ½″ ($74), 8″ ($79), 9 ½″ ($84), 10″ ($89) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor used for?
The Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor is used in ear, mastoid, and plastic surgery to spread small-to-medium incisions under locked mechanical tension, providing hands-free exposure.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, stapedectomy, carpal tunnel decompression, cranial burr holes, herniated disc exposure, and facial plastic revisions.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under operating microscopes.
Is the Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Wullstein Weitlaner Self Retaining Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and hinge joints should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
