Fields of Application (Specialty Indications):

• Bariatric Surgery: Retraction of the extremely thickened abdominal wall in morbid obesity
• Visceral Maximum Surgery: During liver transplantations, multivisceral resections, and complete gastrectomies
• Abdominal Revision Surgery: Retraction during extensive revision operations with massive scar tissue
• Oncologic Major Resections: Exposure during en-bloc resections of giant abdominal tumors
• Trauma Surgery (Polytrauma): During simultaneous exposure of multiple abdominal compartments

Important Safety and Application Notes:

• FOR HIGHLY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY
• Apply only under optimal visibility conditions with sufficient assistance
• Extreme caution during positioning – the maximum blade size requires precise placement
• Controlled, dosed force application – the extreme leverage requires highest control
• Secure grip – fingers must be correctly positioned in reinforced loop handle for optimal force transmission
• Even pressure – consciously and evenly apply the maximum blade surface
• Atraumatic application despite size – pay particular attention to gentle retraction
• Check structural integrity before each use – exclude material fatigue
• During reprocessing intensively clean the maximum blade surface and loop handle
• Professional storage – protect from deformation or damage
