Advantages of the Finsen Blunt Retractor:

• Maximum Tissue Preservation: The fully blunt, rounded prongs prevent cutting or perforation of tissue, making them ideal for sensitive regions (face, décolletage) or patients with thin, aging skin.
• Secure Hold Without Injury Risk: The prongs allow for secure grasping and holding of tissue without compromising the integrity of the skin or mucosa.
• Ideal for Aesthetic Surgery: Prevents additional scarring or injury to wound margins that could compromise cosmetic outcomes.
• Perfect for Granulating Wounds: Can be safely applied to fresh granulation tissue without destroying it.
• Precise Handling: The small size enables delicate work, e.g., in periocular surgery or on the lips.

Important Safety Notes:
• FOR USE BY QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Before each use, inspect for cleanliness and perfect spring function. Blunt prongs must not have sharp edges or notches.
• Despite the blunt prongs, sensitive dosing of the spring tension is required to avoid crushing or pressure damage to the tissue.
• Particularly suitable for fragile tissue, yet caution is advised. Excessive pulling force can cause tissue tears even with blunt prongs.
• While easy cleaning makes the instrument hygienic, reprocessing protocols must still be strictly followed.
• Replace if prongs are deformed, corroded, or if the spring mechanism is faulty.
