Gelpi Retractor

The Gelpi Retractor is a self-retaining, pointed retractor commonly used in orthopedic, spinal, and deep wound surgery to provide stable, hands-free exposure of deep tissue layers. It features two sharp, curved prongs that are inserted into the tissue edges and then separated by a ratcheting mechanism, holding the wound open. Its compact design is ideal for maintaining exposure in confined spaces like the spine, hip, or knee during procedures such as laminectomy, joint replacement, or deep tissue exploration, freeing the assistant’s hands for other tasks.

Key Features:

• Self-retaining design with sharp, curved prongs for deep tissue retraction.
