DAVIDSON RETRACTOR 75MM X 50MM 16,0CM

DAVIDSON RETRACTOR • 75MM X 50MM • 16.0CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Compact Shoulder/Skeletal Retractor for Stable Exposure of Deep, Confined Anatomical Spaces in Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery

The DAVIDSON RETRACTOR 75 mm x 50 mm / 16.0 cm is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This special, wide and short retractor with a double-angled blade design is a precise instrument for the stable retraction of soft tissues in confined, deep surgical fields, particularly in shoulder surgery, spinal surgery, and orthopedics.

Product Highlights:

✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Compact, double-angled blade design (75 mm wide, 50 mm deep) – ideal for narrow approaches
✔ Short, powerful overall length of 16.0 cm for excellent control and leverage in confined spaces
✔ High-quality, solid Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4301 – for high stability with minimal space requirement
✔ Angled blade tips for optimal adaptation to bony contours (e.g., glenoid, acetabulum, vertebral body)
✔ Atraumatic, rounded blade edges to protect soft tissues and neurovascular structures
✔ Ergonomic, closed finger ring for a secure grip and precise force modulation
✔ Matte finish for glare-free work in depth
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Benefits of the Davidson Retractor:

• Optimal Exposure of Deep, Confined Spaces: The compact, wide and deep shape allows effective retraction of soft tissues from bony structures in hard-to-reach areas such as the glenohumeral joint, acetabulum, or spine.
• Stable Platform for Precise Work: Creates and maintains a stable, well-defined visual field crucial for the precise placement of implants, screws, or for arthroscopic portals.
• Reduced Risk of Nerve and Vessel Injury: The angled design and blunt edges minimize the risk of compressing or injuring adjacent neurovascular structures (e.g., axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve).
• Ideal Instrument for Minimally Invasive Approaches: Particularly valuable in arthroscopically assisted or mini-open procedures where space is limited but stable retraction is required.
• Versatile in Orthopedics: A standard instrument for shoulder arthroplasty, acromioplastic procedures, hip and knee revision surgery, and for certain dorsal spinal approaches.

Areas of Application:

• Shoulder Surgery (e.g., total shoulder arthroplasty, rotator cuff reconstruction, acromioplastic procedures)
• Hip Surgery (e.g., approaches to the acetabulum in revision arthroplasty)
• Knee Surgery (e.g., minimally invasive approaches, revision procedures)
• Orthopedic Spinal Surgery (e.g., dorsal approaches, foraminotomies)
• Trauma surgical procedures on joints and periarticular regions

Important Safety and Handling Information:

• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED ORTHOPEDIC OR TRAUMA SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Precise Placement Required: Due to the angled design, the instrument must be consciously placed to avoid unintentionally damaging joint surfaces, cartilage, or implanted components.
• Controlled Force Application: The short lever length allows for high forces – however, these must still be applied in a dosed and controlled manner to avoid tearing out of tissue or bony impression fractures.
• Caution Near Neurovascular Structures: Pay particular attention when placing near known nerve and vessel courses (e.g., in the axilla or popliteal fossa).
• Visual Inspection for Stability: Before each use, inspect for deformations, especially at the angled transitions.
• Thorough Cleaning: The complex blade shape requires thorough cleaning after use.
