Benefits of the Mikulicz Retractor (120x50 mm):
• Maximum Area Control: The 120 mm wide blade enables retraction of an extremely large section of the abdominal wall or simultaneous retraction of two smaller wound edges with one instrument.
• Ideal for Large Approaches: Perfectly suited for extensive median or paramedian laparotomies, thoraco-abdominal approaches, and major reconstructive procedures.
• Stability Under Full Load: The reinforced construction ensures dimensional stability even under high traction, as required in obese patients or for exposing deep-lying structures.
• Time-Saving and Efficiency: Can often replace the use of two standard retractors, thus simplifying the work of the surgical team.
• Proven Design in Maximum Size: Offers all the advantages of the classical Mikulicz retractor – now in a dimension for the greatest challenges.

Areas of Application:
• Extensive median and paramedian laparotomies in visceral and oncological surgery
• Large approaches in vascular and transplant surgery
• Orthopedic and trauma surgical procedures with very large soft tissue access
• Reconstructive procedures on the abdominal wall
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Use under aseptic conditions only.
• Inspect for structural integrity and deformations before each use.
• The large blade area creates significant leverage. A measured and controlled application of traction force is mandatory to avoid tissue damage along the long wound edges.
• Care is required when placing the large instrument to avoid compressing surrounding structures.
• When reusing, reprocessing guidelines must be strictly followed. Cleaning the large inner surface requires suitable brushes.
