MEYERDING RETRACTOR FIG-5 7MM X 4MM

MEYERDING RETRACTOR • FIG-5 • 7MM X 4MM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Ultra-Fine Hook for Microsurgical Retraction and Tissue Manipulation

The MEYERDING Retractor FIG-5 with working dimensions of 7mm wide x 4mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. As the smallest and most delicate retractor in the series, it is the instrument of choice for ultimate precision in microsurgery, where gentle exposure of minute structures in extremely confined surgical fields is paramount.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ FIG-5 – The ultra-fine configuration for microsurgical precision
➤ Smallest dimensions in the series (7mm x 4mm) for minimal tissue displacement
✔ Specifically designed for microsurgery and high-precision procedures
✔ Made from high-strength, fine-grained stainless steel 1.4441/316L for maximum stability despite slender design
✔ Highly polished or satin finish for optimal visibility
✔ Exquisitely balanced, slim handle for vibration-free operation
✔ Autoclavable and reusable

Benefits of the MEYERDING Retractor FIG-5:

• Microsurgical Precision: Enables millimeter-accurate retraction of fascia, nerve sheaths, or vessel adventitia without trauma.
• Minimal Access: Perfect for "keyhole" approaches where every millimeter of space counts and larger retractors would obstruct the view.
• Atraumatic Manipulation: The narrow, rounded tip allows for careful dissection and elevation of delicate structures.
• Ultimate Control: The lightweight, perfectly balanced design permits steady, tremor-free holding even over extended periods.
• Ideal for Combined Use: Often used as a set of multiple FIG-5 retractors to circumferentially expose a small, deep surgical field.

Technical Specifications:

• Model: MEYERDING Retractor, Type FIG-5
• Working Dimensions: Width 7mm × Depth 4mm
• Design: Single-ended hook, ultra-fine "Figure-5" shape with smooth inner edge
• Material: Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4441 / 316L (for optimal fine mechanics)
• Surface: Highly Polished or Matte/Satin (optional)
• Sterilisation: Autoclavable up to 138°C (steam sterilisation)
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)

Fields of Application:

• Microsurgery: Retraction in nerve repair (neurorrhaphy), vascular anastomoses, or free flap surgery.
• Reconstructive Hand Surgery: Precise work in the palmar arch or for tendon injuries in zone II.
• Ophthalmic Surgery: Assistive retraction in anterior segment surgery or lacrimal procedures.
• Facial Plastic Surgery: Exposure in rhinoplasty, otoplasty, or lid surgery.
• Peripheral Neurosurgery: In procedures on peripheral nerves, e.g., carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel release.

Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY MICROSURGERY-TRAINED PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Extreme care in handling: The instrument is very delicate and can bend or break if mishandled.
• Inspect under magnification before each use for any minute deformations.
• Never use as a lever or apply forceful pressure.
• Intended only for retraction of the finest soft tissue structures.
• Requires particularly careful reprocessing according to manufacturer guidelines to avoid damage.
