Ultra-Wide Compact Retractor with Deep Engagement for Demanding Medium Surgical Approaches
The MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor with working dimensions of 22mm wide x 8mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This ultra-wide and deep variant of the compact retractor pushes the boundaries of convention, offering the surface area and stability of a large standard Langenbeck while maintaining a compact, manageable design for precise handling.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Ultra-wide MINI-Langenbeck configuration – the largest available compact size
➤ Maximum width (22mm) for superior surface control and pressure distribution
➤ Remarkable depth (8mm) for secure and deep tissue engagement
✔ High-precision forged from high-strength stainless steel 1.4441/316L for extra stability
✔ Perfectly satinated, non-glare surface
✔ Reinforced yet ergonomic handle for optimal force transmission with minimal fatigue
✔ Autoclavable and reusable
Benefits of the Ultra-Wide MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor:
• Unmatched Stability in Compact Form: Provides the retraction power and area of a large instrument, yet is significantly more manageable and precisely positionable in confined approaches.
• Depth Performance of a Standard Retractor: With 8mm depth, even resistant or deeper tissue layers (e.g., fascia, muscle) can be held back securely and controllably.
• Ideal "Bridging" Retractor: Perfect for procedures that are too demanding for small Mini-Langenbecks, but where a large standard retractor is considered too bulky and imprecise.
• Reduces Need for Assistance: The large, stable blade reliably retracts tissue, minimizing the need for manual retraction or frequent readjustment.
• Peak Efficiency: Enables the fastest and safest possible exposure of the surgical field within its size category.

• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Fields of Application:
• Demanding Small Joint Surgery: Primary retractor in shoulder arthroscopy with open conversion, elbow arthroplasty, or open ankle arthrodesis.
• Orthopaedic Trauma (Medium-Sized): Retraction in the management of pilon fractures, tibial plateau fractures, or open lower leg fractures with limited access.
• Plastic & Reconstructive Flap Elevation: Excellent choice for exposure during radial forearm flap, anterolateral thigh flap (ALT), or other medium-sized free flap harvest.
• Dermatologic Oncology: For broad, controlled retraction in Mohs surgery of larger defects or excisions requiring complex closure.
• Specialised General Surgery: Retraction in open inguinal hernia repair (e.g., Lichtenstein) or smaller laparotomy-based procedures in visceral surgery.
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Due to its significant leverage, utmost control of applied pressure is mandatory. Uncontrolled force can lead to tissue transection or injury to deeper structures.
• Inspect for structural integrity, sharpness, and any deformations before each use.
• Not suitable for superficial or microvascular procedures.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
