Advantages of the High-Stability LANGENBECK Retractor:

• Maximum Stability: The 16 mm tall blade provides exceptional stiffness and resistance to bending
• Powerful Retraction: Enables holding of large tissue masses such as the entire abdominal wall or extensive intestinal convolutes
• Optimal Pressure Distribution: The large surface area distributes retraction pressure evenly and prevents local pressure peaks
• Ideal for Difficult Anatomical Conditions: Particularly suitable for obese patients, muscular abdominal walls, or revision surgeries
• Secure Grip Under High Load: The hollow handle design ensures a non-slip grip even during maximum force application
