Advantages of the Kocher-Langenbeck Retractor (35x8mm):

• Double Efficiency: Saves instrument changes – switch between surface and grasping retraction by simply rotating the instrument.
• Optimal Tissue Adaptation: The large Langenbeck blade (35mm) distributes pressure evenly across larger muscle or adipose tissue areas.
• Secure Fixation: The Kocher blade provides reliable grip on resistant structures for controlled traction.
• Deep Access: With 21.5 cm overall length, ideal for orthopedic, visceral, or urological procedures.
• Reduced Hand Fatigue: Ergonomically shaped central handle for secure grip even during longer surgeries.

• Plastic Surgery: Flap elevation, procedures involving fascial structures.

Important Safety and Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Apply Kocher blade only to firm fascial/tendinous structures. Do not use on parenchymal organs, nerves, or vessels.
• Use measured traction when employing the Kocher blade to avoid perforations.
• Apply the large Langenbeck blade evenly and with full surface contact to prevent tissue damage from edge pressure.
• Check for proper function and absence of damage before each use.
• Pay special attention to cleaning the interdental spaces of the Kocher blade during reprocessing.
