✔ High-performance stainless steel 1.4441 – biocompatible, extremely corrosion-resistant, and designed for maximum bending strength
✔ Tested Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Special block forging with three-dimensional reinforcement structure
✔ Optimal length of 21.5 cm for deepest surgical approaches with greatest possible area effect
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Advantages of the Kocher-Langenbeck Retractor (80x16mm):

• Dual Retraction Advantage: Combines the greatest possible width (80 mm) with maximum height (16 mm) for unsurpassed tissue control.
• Complete Exposure: Enables retraction of entire anatomical compartments, creating an operative visual field of exceptional depth and width.
• Reduced Instrument Density: In special situations, can replace an entire set of several smaller retractors, improving overview in the surgical field.
• Critical Stability: The massive construction provides reliable hold even under extreme traction forces, as encountered in bariatric or revision surgery.
• Strategic OR Management: Allows the surgeon to control large tissue blocks with one instrument while parallel precise holding tasks are possible.

Exclusive Fields of Application (Highly Specialized):

• Hyper-Complex Bariatric Surgery: Retraction of the massively thickened abdominal wall in morbid obesity with BMI > 60.
• Oncologic Super-Major Resections: En-bloc resections of giant retroperitoneal or intrapelvic tumor masses.
• Orthopedic Maximum Exposure: Complete exposure of the pelvis during internal hemipelvectomies or the entire spine during correction surgeries.
• Polytrauma Damage-Control Surgery: Simultaneous exposure of abdomen, retroperitoneum, and pelvis in life-threatening injury patterns.
• Experimental Surgery & Training: For highly specialized training centers that must demonstrate extreme anatomical exposure.

Critical Warning and Application Notes (Mandatory):

• FOR SURGICAL SPECIALISTS WITH DOCUMENTED EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING MAXIMUM-SIZE INSTRUMENTS ONLY. Use by non-certified personnel is a safety hazard.
• Treat Kocher blade with highest alert level: Application exclusively under direct visual contact on massive osseous or fascial landmarks. Any contact with visceral, vascular, or neural structures is unacceptable.
• Triple Safety Procedure Mandatory: 1. Instrument integrity check, 2. Tissue check before contact, 3. Assistant-verified positioning.
• Respect physical limits: The combined leverage effects of width AND height generate extreme forces. Always work with assisting counter-traction. Single-handed guidance is strictly prohibited.
• Mandatory macroscopic and (if available) microscopic inspection for material fatigue before use, especially at critical transitions.
• This is not a routine instrument. Use only after strict indication and risk-benefit assessment by the lead surgeon.
• Special reprocessing protocols required to avoid cleaning and sterilization deficits at this scale.
