Aafix Weitlaner Retractor is made from premium German stainless steel. It is a popular self-retaining retractor with a scissor-like shape. The retractor blades each contain curved, downward-pointing prongs which retain their position when the handles are locked in place to expose an open wound. The instrument is offered with either sharp or blunt prongs in a 2×3 or 3×4 configuration, and in patterns of varying lengths.
