Atraumatic Wide-Area Retractor for Massive, Gentle Tissue Exposure
The KOERTE Retractor with 8 blunt prongs, 26x40mm, 24.0 cm is a Class I medical device according to ISO 13485:2016. This specialized instrument combines the broad-area effect of a large retraction blade with the absolute tissue preservation of fully blunt prongs. It is designed for the safe and gentle exposure of large body cavities where the integrity of the retracted tissue is of the highest priority.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745)
✔ KOERTE design with broad, flat retraction blade
✔ 8 blunt prongs (26x40 mm area) for maximum surface adhesion without penetration risk
✔ High-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L – corrosion-resistant and biocompatible
✔ Biocompatibility tested according to ISO 10993
✔ Fully blunt, polished prongs for atraumatic contact
✔ Extended lever length of 24.0 cm for controlled deep retraction
✔ Autoclavable and reusable
Advantages of the KOERTE Retractor (8 blunt prongs):
• Ultimate Tissue Preservation on Large Area: The broad blade with eight blunt prongs distributes retraction pressure most evenly and eliminates any risk of cut or puncture injuries to the tissue.
• Ideal for Vulnerable Regions: Perfectly suited for retracting the abdominal wall near the bowel, the greater omentum, or during revision surgeries with adherent organs.
• Stable and Safe Exposure: Enables reliable presentation of the surgical field while maximizing patient safety – crucial during long procedures.
• Reduced Risk of Postoperative Complications: The atraumatic technique minimizes tissue trauma, hematomas, and the risk of adhesion formation.
• Biologically Oriented Surgery: Supports the principles of modern gentle surgery with a focus on soft tissue preservation and physiological healing.
Technical Specifications:
• Model: KOERTE Retractor (Rib Spreader type, atraumatic)
• Type: 8 blunt prongs
• Blade Dimensions: Approx. 26 mm x 40 mm (width x height)
• Total Length: 24.0 cm
• Blade Shape: Broad, flat blade with eight fully blunt, rounded prongs
• Material: Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4401 / 316L
• Surface: High-gloss polished for minimal friction
• Processing: Autoklavable up to 135°C, suitable for repeated reprocessing
• Special Feature: Premium instrument for atraumatic large-area retraction in reconstructive and oncological surgery
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Fields of Application:
• Reconstructive visceral surgery and major oncological procedures with soft tissue preservation
• Revision laparotomies for extensive intra-abdominal adhesions
• Major urological and gynecological procedures with bowel preservation
• Elective large abdominal wall closures (e.g., after component separation)
• Special procedures in thoracic surgery with lung or mediastinal preservation
Important Application Notes:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL WITH EXPERTISE IN GENTLE SURGERY ONLY.
• Atraumatic high-performance instrument. Nevertheless requires sensitive feel for measured pressure to avoid pressure damage.
• Before each use, subject all eight prongs to a thorough visual inspection for absolute smoothness, intact polish, and structural integrity.
• Specifically designed for retracting large, yet vulnerable soft tissue masses. Not suitable for extremely dense scar tissue.
• The long lever requires particularly controlled, measured force application.
• During reprocessing, ensure meticulous cleaning of the spaces between prongs to remove tissue residue.
• Discard immediately in case of any damage, bending, or wear of the polished surface.
