Advantages of the Langenbeck Retractor (50x11mm):

• Maximum Area Coverage: The 50 mm wide blade enables retraction of extremely large tissue areas in a single motion.
• Optimal Wound Edge Protection: Protects long incision edges through even pressure distribution, minimizing tissue trauma.
• Increased Efficiency: Reduces the number of retractors needed for large approaches, saving time and personnel.
• Stable Exposure: Provides an exceptionally wide and stable view of the deeper surgical field.
• Ergonomic Force Transfer: Specially proportioned handle allows comfortable handling despite the large blade surface.

Fields of Application (Specialty Indications):

• Extensive Visceral Surgery: Retraction of the abdominal wall in large laparotomies (e.g., liver resections, pancreatic surgery).
• Orthopedic Large Approaches: For extensive reconstructions of the hip, pelvis, or spine.
• Thoracic Surgery: Retraction of large soft tissue areas during thoracotomies.
• Oncologic Major Resections: Safe exposure and protection of surrounding tissue during tumor resections.
• Plastic Surgery: Controlled retraction of extremely large skin areas during free flap procedures or debridements.

Important Safety and Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Due to the significant leverage, particularly controlled and even force application is required.
• Always inspect for deformations or material fatigue before use – a bent blade significantly impairs function.
• Not suitable for deep, narrow approaches. Specifically designed for shallow, wide approaches.
• Clean thoroughly during reprocessing, as residues may accumulate in the transitions (handle/blade).
• Recommended for use as a primary retractor in a setup with narrower retractor types for dissection.
