High-Sided Deep Retractor for Stable Retraction of Bulky Soft Tissue Layers
The KELLY RETRACTOR with dimensions of 160 mm x 57 mm is a CE Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This high-sided and deep version of the classical Kelly retractor is specifically designed for the stable, broad, and controlled retraction of voluminous or deep-lying soft tissue, as encountered in major vascular or orthopedic approaches. The increased side wall provides more hold and control.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR)
✔ Very wide blade (160 mm) with high side wall (57 mm) for deep hold
✔ Deep, slightly concave construction for optimal adaptation to tissue contours
✔ Long standard length (27 cm) for excellent reach and leverage in depth
✔ Fully rounded and polished edges for highest atraumatic quality
✔ High-quality surgical stainless steel in a stable version
✔ Ergonomic, long handle for powerful and precise handling
✔ Autoclavable and designed for demanding procedures
Benefits of the Kelly Retractor (160x57 mm):
• Stable Deep Tissue Retraction: The 57 mm high side wall allows for securely grasping and controlling even voluminous muscle packages or adipose tissue, preventing the tissue from slipping over the retractor's edge.
• Ideal Exposure of Deep Structures: Perfect for exposing structures lying beneath a thick soft tissue layer, such as deep vascular segments or nerves.
• Robust Design for Demanding Anatomy: Particularly suitable for procedures in obese patients or in anatomical regions with strong musculature.
• Versatile Specialist: An indispensable instrument for major vascular reconstructions, orthopedic tumor surgery, and extensive visceral procedures.
• Precise Force Transmission: The long handle enables direct and controlled force application even under high traction.
Technical Specifications:
• Model: Kelly Retractor, high-sided deep version
• Overall Length: 27.0 cm
• Blade Dimensions (W x H): 160 mm (Width) x 57 mm (Height/Blade depth)
• Blade Shape: Very wide, high-sided, slightly concave curved with rounded ends
• Handle Form: Long, straight, and solid handle
• Material: High-quality surgical stainless steel (e.g., 1.4301 / 316L)
• Surface: High-gloss polished (for best gliding properties) or matte
• Special Feature: High-sided design with greater depth for improved hold on massive tissue
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR
Areas of Application:
• Stable retraction in major vascular surgical approaches (e.g., aorto-bifemoral bypass, exposure of the iliac artery)
• Orthopedic tumor surgery and revision arthroplasty with a deep soft tissue mantle
• Extensive visceral procedures with access to the retroperitoneum
• Neurosurgical spinal procedures for muscle retraction
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Use under aseptic conditions only.
• Inspect for structural integrity and deformations before each use.
• The deeper construction increases leverage. Pressure must be applied evenly and in a measured manner despite the stable hold to avoid tissue damage.
• Exercise particular caution during deep placement to avoid compressing underlying critical structures.
• When reusing, reprocessing guidelines must be strictly followed.
