Advantages of the ISRAEL Retractor:
• Maximum Holding Power and Stability: The large, square area with four prongs provides exceptionally secure hold in resistant tissue and allows for the application of considerable traction forces.
• Depth Effectiveness: With a total length of 25.0 cm, the instrument is specifically designed for deep procedures in abdominal, thoracic, or pelvic surgery.
• Secure Grip Even Under High Load: The massive rake handle ensures slip-resistant, ergonomic control even when wet and under high force application.
• For Most Challenging Retraction Tasks: Developed for exposing deep-seated structures behind powerful muscle groups or during revision surgeries with scarred tissue.
• Industrial Robustness: Over-engineered for use under extreme conditions in major surgery.

• Revision surgery after multiple previous operations with pronounced scarring
• Orthopedic tumor surgery on the spine or pelvis
• Major thoracic surgery procedures
CRITICAL APPLICATION NOTES:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL IN MAJOR SURGERY ONLY.
• HEAVY AND HIGH-LOAD INSTRUMENT. Improper use can cause significant tissue damage.
• Pre-Use Inspection Mandatory: Before each use, inspect for structural integrity, firm seating of all prongs, and sharpness/edge quality.
• Specific Indication: Only for retracting massive, dense tissue (muscle, fascia, scar plates) at depth. Not for delicate structures.
• Requires surgical judgment for dosing the extreme traction forces.
• Reprocessing: Thorough cleaning of spaces between prongs is required.
• Discard Policy: Discard immediately at the slightest sign of material fatigue (micro-cracks, incipient bending). The instrument is subjected to extreme stresses.
