Retractor, Weitlaner

Definition

A self-locking, surgical instrument, used for separating the edges or drawing aside the margins of a surgical incision, tissue or other body parts to expose or access underlying anatomical structure during a surgical procedure.

The instrument may resemble a pair of ring-handles scissors or a hinged device with two legs with wide-angle blades which have fenestrated curved hooks often terminating in sharp points at the distal end to grasp the tissue. It will retain the set open position.
