KOCHER RETRACTOR WIDTH SERRATED HANDLE 60MM X 20MM 23,0CM

KOCHER RETRACTOR WITH LATTICE HANDLE • 60MM X 20MM • 23.0 CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Mega-Power Grasping Retractor for Retraction of Massive Fascial and Muscular Complexes

The KOCHER RETRACTOR 60mm x 20mm with lattice handle is a CE-Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This Mega-Dimension variant surpasses the conventional limits of grasping retraction and is specifically developed for mastering extremely resistant and massive tissue structures, as encountered in revision, bariatric, and oncologic major surgery. Its extraordinary dimensions make it an instrument for specific, highly complex situations.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745)
✔ Mega-Dimension Special Variant – the largest available Kocher version
✔ Mega grasping blade (60mm x 20mm) with 3-4 massive teeth for unsurpassed holding power
✔ Large-surface lattice handle for distributed, fatigue-free grip during maximum force application
✔ Highest-strength surgical steel 1.4441 – designed for extreme tensile and shear forces
✔ Tested Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Block-forged with continuous teeth worked from the solid volume
✔ Increased overall length of 23.0 cm for optimal leverage in depth
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Advantages of the Mega Kocher Retractor (60x20mm):

• Definitive Holding Power: The giant grasping blade with multiple deep teeth enables secure control of even the most massive fasciae or muscle insertions (e.g., entire fascia lata, large pectoral muscle).
• Depth Penetration: The 20 mm tall teeth penetrate deeply into tissue to ensure stable anchoring even under extreme traction conditions.
• Force Management: The large-format lattice handle allows the application of very high forces with good hand control and reduced local pressure on the hand.
• Unique Indication: Fills a specific niche for procedures where all other retraction methods would fail.
• Reduced Perforation Risk (relative): Due to the large contact area and multiple teeth, pressure per unit area is reduced compared to small Kochers, albeit with significantly greater potential damage.

Exclusive Fields of Application (Highly Specialized):

• Orthopedic Super-Revision Surgery: Control of the entire thigh fascia (fascia lata) during extensive soft tissue reconstructions or prosthesis infection revisions.
• Oncologic Major Resections (Soft Tissue): Holding and retracting giant muscle-fascia complexes during resection of large soft tissue sarcomas (e.g., on the posterior thigh or trunk).
• Reconstructive Surgery after Trauma: In massive, scarred soft tissue defects requiring mobilization of large tissue blocks.
• Special Bariatric Reconstruction: Retraction of the extremely thickened and firm abdominal wall fascia during abdominal reconstructions after massive weight loss.
• Experimental/Establishing Surgery: For specific surgical techniques that require such holding power.

ABSOLUTE SAFETY NOTES AND CONTRAINDICATIONS:

• FOR SPECIALIZED, EXPERIENCED SURGEONS IN CERTIFIED CENTERS ONLY. Not for general use.
• EXTREMELY LIMITED APPLICATION SCOPE: Only for massive, well-identifiable fascial layers or tendinous plates with a thickness that can safely accommodate the full 20 mm penetration depth of the teeth without endangering underlying structures.
• ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS: Any application on or near: parenchymal organs, major vessels, nerve plexuses, thin fasciae, skin flaps, intestine, any hollow organ. Not suitable for dissection.
• Mandatory Prerequisites: 1. Absolute direct vision of the entire application site. 2. Tactile confirmation of underlying structures. 3. Explicit approval by the lead senior surgeon.
• Risk of Tissue Destruction: If misapplied, this instrument can cause catastrophic, non-reconstructable tissue defects. Every use is a high-risk maneuver.
• Two-handed guidance by the surgeon plus assisting stabilization are mandatory.
• Most intensive inspection before each use for material fatigue, especially at the tooth-base transitions.
