✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745)
✔ LANGENBECK design with extra-wide, flat-curved tip
✔ Particularly broad tip (60x20 mm) for maximum surface effect and stability
✔ High-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L – corrosion-resistant and biocompatible
✔ Biocompatibility tested according to ISO 10993
✔ Atraumatically rounded edges for safe application
✔ Optimal working length of 21.0 cm for deep hip approaches
✔ Autoclavable and reusable

Advantages of the LANGENBECK Hip Retractor (60x20mm):

• Superior Surface Retraction: The 60 mm wide tip encompasses larger soft tissue areas (e.g., the entire anterior or posterior capsuloligamentous complex) and enables more stable joint exposure.
• Optimized Pressure Distribution: Distributes retraction pressure evenly across a larger tissue area, thereby reducing the risk of local pressure damage or nerve irritation.
• Ideal for Revision and Complex Primary Procedures: Particularly valuable in difficult anatomical conditions, scarred adhesions, or during mobilization of prosthesis components.
• Improved Visibility and Access: Creates a broader and more controlled surgical field for precise dissection steps and prosthesis implantation.
• Ergonomic Force Transmission: The combination of width, length, and curvature allows for efficient and low-fatigue handling.

Fields of Application:

• Demanding primary total hip arthroplasty (e.g., in dysplasia, Perthes disease)
• All revision surgeries of the hip joint
• Complex osteosynthetic treatment of acetabular fractures
• Soft tissue reconstructions around the hip joint
• Tumor surgery in the periacetabular region

Important Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Atraumatic yet powerful instrument. Controlled application is essential to avoid slipping and severe soft tissue injuries.
• Before each use, inspect for structural integrity, smoothness of edges, and correct curvature.
• Particularly suitable for retracting the tensor fasciae latae, hip abductors, and anterior capsule.
• Do not use as a lever or for hip joint dislocation.
• Particular attention to the position of the femoral nerve (anterior) and sciatic nerve (posterior) is essential during placement.
• During reprocessing, strictly follow applicable guidelines.
• Discard immediately if bent (especially the broad tip) or otherwise damaged.
