Advantages of the Langenbeck Retractor (30x16mm):
• Deep Retraction: The 16 mm tall blade penetrates deeply into wound edges and securely retracts even voluminous tissue.
• Volume Control: Ideal for retracting adipose tissue or large muscle masses in orthopedic and visceral surgery.
• Stability under Load: The solid one-piece construction prevents bending even under significant stress.
• Deep Cavity Exposure: Creates and maintains stable access to deeply located surgical sites.
• Secure Grip: The lattice handle allows for a powerful, non-slip grip enabling precise work even under tension.

Fields of Application (Specialty Indications):
• Bariatric / Obesity Surgery: Retraction of thick subcutaneous tissue in general and visceral surgery.
• Orthopedic Deep Cavity Procedures: Forceful retraction of large muscle groups (e.g., thigh, gluteal region).
• Trauma Surgery: Exposure of deep fractures or soft tissue injuries.
• Extensive Reconstructive Procedures: Where large tissue flaps need to be mobilized and held back.
• Any procedure where conventional Langenbeck retractors reach their retraction limit.
Important Safety and Application Notes:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Due to the high leverage, controlled, measured force application is mandatory to avoid tissue crushing.
• Inspect for material fatigue or deformations before each use.
• Particularly suited for use as a second retractor in a set or for retraction by an assistant.
• During reprocessing, ensure complete cleaning of the blade base at the transition to the handle.
