Description

Sklar's Wiltse-Gelpi Retractor is a self-retaining retractor often used for holding back tissue in deep surgical sites. The long shanks allow for use of this instrument in deep incisions. Once the targeted tissue has been held back, the locking mechanism allows the retractor to remain in place, and does not require someone to hold it during the procedure. This product is curved with 1 sharp prong on each tip and a length of 11 inches.
