The Weitlaner Retractor works similar to the Gelpi in that when you close the handles the tips spread apart. Like the Gelpi, the Weitlaner has a ratchet allowing the instrument to self retain at whatever spread is necessary to keep the wound open.  4, record 1, English, - Weitlaner%20retractor

Avec l'usage, il arrive que le nom de l'inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors d'«écarteur Weitlaner» et non plus d'«écarteur de Weitlaner».  3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9carteur%20de%20Weitlaner
