Langenbeck Retractors

The Sharjamat Langenbeck Retractor is a handheld surgical instrument designed for controlled retraction of soft tissue, wound edges and muscle layers to improve visibility and access to the operative field. The classic Langenbeck pattern features a long shaft with a flat blade positioned approximately at a right angle, together with a fenestrated/loop-style handle for controlled manual retraction. It is widely used across general and other open surgical procedures. MSF's medical catalogue classifies the Langenbeck as a reusable, manually operated general-surgery retractor for drawing aside incision margins and underlying tissue.
