The BA063 Gelpi Self Retaining Retractor is a veterinary surgical retractor family offered in three overall-length options: BA06301 at 100 mm, BA06302 at 140 mm and BA06303 at 160 mm. The instrument is designed to support localized tissue retraction and maintain access to the operative field during selected veterinary orthopedic and general surgical procedures.
For procurement and instrument-set planning, the three length options can be specified according to the expected working depth, incision location and patient anatomy. The 100 mm version may be considered for more compact access requirements, while the 140 mm and 160 mm versions provide longer working lengths for procedures requiring additional reach. These are selection guidelines only; the responsible veterinary professional should determine the appropriate model for each procedure.
Self-retaining retractors can help maintain tissue displacement after placement and reduce the need for continuous manual holding of the retractor. In veterinary orthopedic applications, this function may support exposure of bone and surrounding soft tissue during fracture repair, joint surgery and other approaches. The BA063 product family should be cataloged as a surgical retractor, not as a bone-cutting, drilling, implant-delivery or implant-fixation instrument.
