Advantages of the OLLIER Retractor (38x25mm):

• Optimal Width Coverage: The exceptional width of 38 mm allows for retraction of large muscle or soft tissue areas in one motion, ensuring a stable and well-exposed surgical field.
• Even Pressure Distribution: The flat design distributes retraction pressure evenly across a large area, minimizing the risk of tissue tears or pressure damage.
• Ideal for Large Joint Access: Specifically suited for exposure during total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and major shoulder procedures.
• Versatile Application Spectrum: Perfect for retracting muscles around the hip joint (e.g., gluteus medius), around the knee joint, or during open fracture management.
• Stable Handling: The combination of width and length offers excellent leverage properties for controlled and low-fatigue retraction.

Fields of Application:

• Hip arthroplasty (for retracting hip abductors and the anterior capsuloligamentous complex)
• Knee arthroplasty (for retracting the medial or lateral soft tissue sleeve)
• Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of femur and tibia fractures
• Shoulder surgery (e.g., during reverse shoulder arthroplasty)
• Revision surgery of large joints

Important Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Atraumatic instrument. Nevertheless, measured, controlled force application is required to avoid nerve irritation or muscle bruising.
• Before each use, inspect for cleanliness, smoothness of edges, and structural integrity. Check for bends.
• The instrument is for soft tissue retraction. Do not use as a lever on bones or for mobilizing joint prostheses.
• Pay particular attention to the location of important neurovascular structures when placing the instrument deep in tissue.
• During reprocessing, follow applicable guidelines for surgical stainless steel instruments.
• Discard immediately if the blade is bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
