LANGENBECK RETRACTOR • 40MM X 11MM • 21.0 CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Wide-Blade Retractor for Gentle Large-Area Retraction and Optimal Field Exposure

The LANGENBECK RETRACTOR 40mm x 11mm is a CE-Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This wide-blade variant of the classic instrument is specifically designed for surgical procedures requiring large-area, yet shallow retraction of tissue. The exceptionally wide blade distributes pressure evenly over a large surface, minimizes tissue trauma, and provides a maximally clear surgical field.

Advantages of the Langenbeck Retractor (40x11mm):

• Maximum Area Retraction: The 40 mm wide blade effectively and gently retracts large tissue areas (e.g., abdominal wall, large muscles).
• Optimal Pressure Distribution: Distributes traction force evenly over a large area, reducing the risk of local tissue damage or ischemia.
• Broad Field of View: Creates a wide, shallow access and excellent overview for the surgeon.
• Ideal Wound Edge Retraction: Perfect for securely and controllably holding long incision edges (e.g., in laparotomies) open.
• Precise Control: The lattice handle allows for secure handling even when applying the broad blade.

• Special Feature: Specialty variant for large-area retraction with minimal tissue pressure.
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)

Fields of Application:

• General and Visceral Surgery: Ideal retraction of the abdominal wall in midline or paramedian laparotomies.
• Vascular Surgery: Secure exposure of longer vascular segments.
• Orthopedic Surgery: Large-area retraction of muscle groups, e.g., on the back or extremities.
• Plastic Surgery: Retraction of large skin flaps or larger areas in reconstructive procedures.
• Any procedure where long wound edges or extensive tissue areas need to be held open in a controlled manner.

Important Safety and Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• The large blade surface requires conscious, even force application to avoid tilting or edging of the instrument.
• Particularly suitable for retracting stable tissue layers (fascia, muscle).
• Inspect for deformations before each use, as the wide blade can bend if handled improperly.
• During reprocessing, ensure complete cleaning of the large surface area.

Diese Beschreibung hebt die einzigartige Anwendung der Breitblatt-Variante (40mm) für großflächige, flache Retraktionen hervor und grenzt sie klar von den Hochblatt-Varianten ab. Der Fokus liegt auf Druckverteilung, Flächenretraktion und dem Einsatz bei langen Wundrändern.
