PARKER-LANGENBECK FIG-2

PARKER-LANGENBECK FIG-2 RETRACTOR • 21.0 CM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Single Deep Tissue Retractor for Broad Exposure in Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery

The PARKER-LANGENBECK FIG-2 RETRACTOR is a medical device of CE Class I according to ISO 13485:2016. As the complementary instrument to the FIG-1, this retractor is specifically designed for broad and stable retraction of muscle and soft tissue in deep surgical fields. Its characteristic, slightly angled blade shape and overall length of 21.0 cm provide optimal exposure of the surgical site for precise work at depth.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Directive 93/42/EEC)
✔ Classic PARKER-LANGENBECK Fig-2 design
✔ Optimal length of 21.0 cm for broad deep-tissue exposure
✔ High-quality Stainless Steel 1.4301 – rust-proof and biocompatible
✔ Verified biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Atraumatic, rounded blade edges for tissue-sparing application
✔ Ergonomic square shank for a secure, powerful, and rotationally stable grip
✔ Sterilizable and reusable (autoclavable)

Advantages of the Fig-2 Retractor:

• Broad Deep Retraction: The specific Fig-2 blade shape is optimized for stable, wide retraction of muscle tissue in deep surgical approaches (e.g., thigh or trunk).
• Stable Leverage: The square shank allows for powerful and controlled handling without rotation in the hand.
• Tissue-Sparing Design: Rounded edges and a slightly concave blade profile minimize localized pressure points on retracted tissue.
• Ideal Complement: Designed for combined use with the FIG-1 retractor to achieve an optimal deep-wound spreading effect.
• High-Quality Craftsmanship: Precision-forged from a single piece of surgical stainless steel for maximum longevity and sterilization safety.

Areas of Application:

• Broad retraction in orthopedic surgery (e.g., Total Knee Arthroplasty, femoral nailing)
• Exposure in large trauma surgery approaches (e.g., treatment of femur fractures)
• Deep and wide wound retraction in general and visceral surgery
• Combined use with FIG-1 for optimal deep cavity visualization
• Any procedure requiring stable, broad holding of soft tissue structures

Important Safety Notes:
• FOR USE BY QUALIFIED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Inspect for cleanliness, structural integrity, and sharp edges before each use.
• Apply leverage in a controlled and measured manner to avoid pressure damage to tissue.
• Exercise particular caution when using near neurovascular bundles.
• This instrument is not intended for levering bone fragments or as a holding device for implants.
• Strict adherence to valid reprocessing and sterilization protocols is mandatory for reuse.
• Discard the instrument if signs of wear, bending, or corrosion are visible.
