High-Sided Harrington Retractor for Deep and Stable Retraction of Bulky Visceral Organs
The HARRINGTON RETRACTOR with dimensions of 127 mm x 62 mm is a CE Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This high-sided and deep version of the classical visceral retractor is specifically designed for the stable and gentle retraction of particularly voluminous or deep-lying upper abdominal organs (such as an enlarged liver). The increased side wall provides more hold and control in demanding anatomical conditions.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR)
✔ Extra-wide blade (127 mm) with high side wall (62 mm) for deep hold
✔ Deep, slightly concave construction for optimal adaptation to organ contours
✔ Long shaft length (32 cm) for excellent reach in deep body cavities
✔ Fully rounded, high-gloss polished edges for highest atraumatic quality
✔ High-quality surgical stainless steel in a stable version
✔ Ergonomic handgrip for comfortable and powerful handling
✔ Autoclavable and designed for use in complex visceral surgery
Benefits of the Harrington Retractor (127x62 mm):
• Deep and Stable Organ Control: The 62 mm high side wall securely encompasses even voluminous or adipose tissue, preventing the organ from slipping during prolonged retraction phases.
• Optimized for Difficult Anatomy: Ideal for procedures in patients with hepatomegaly, steatosis, or generally difficult access conditions in the upper abdomen.
• Maximum Tissue Sparing with High Stability: Still distributes retraction pressure over a large area but offers more stable guidance due to the depth, reducing the risk of unintended movements.
• Indispensable for Major Procedures: A valuable instrument for extensive liver resections, major gastric or pancreatic procedures, where reliable and gentle retraction is crucial.
• Ergonomics for the Assistant: Enables secure and fatigue-free retraction work even over long surgical durations.
Technical Specifications:

Areas of Application:
• Stable retraction of an enlarged or fatty liver (steatosis)
• Complex upper abdominal procedures in visceral and oncological surgery
• Retraction in obese patients with deep-lying and hard-to-reach organs
• Major vascular surgical procedures in the upper abdomen
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Use under aseptic conditions only.
• Inspect for structural integrity and deformations before each use.
• Special Caution: The deeper construction increases leverage. Pressure must be applied evenly and in a measured manner despite the stable hold to avoid parenchymal damage.
• Not for retracting thin-walled or fragile structures for which the standard model (40 mm) is more suitable.
• When reusing, reprocessing guidelines must be strictly followed.
