Advantages of the OLLIER Retractor:
• Broad-Area and Gentle Retraction: The large, flat blade (36 mm wide, 30 mm high) distributes pressure evenly on the tissue, minimizing the risk of local pressure damage or tissue tears.
• Stable Exposure: Provides reliable and controlled holding back of muscles, fascia, and skin flaps for an optimal view of bony structures and joints.
• Ideal for Extremity Surgery: Specifically designed for procedures on the hip, knee, shoulder, and other large joints, as well as for the treatment of fractures in long bones.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both retraction of superficial soft tissues and deeper tissue layers.
• Ergonomic Handling: The length and shape allow for good leverage while maintaining good control by the surgeon.
