SAUERBRUCH RETRACTOR FIG-3 72MM X 19MM 22,5CM

SAUERBRUCH RETRACTOR FIG-3 • 72MM X 19MM • 22.5 CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Ultra-Broad Angle Retractor for Panoramic Exposure in Maximum Access Surgery

The SAUERBRUCH RETRACTOR FIG-3 72mm x 19mm is a CE-Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This FIG-3 Super-Wide Variant of the classic Sauerbruch design offers an extra-wide blade construction (72mm) providing exceptionally large retraction surface for procedures requiring panoramic exposure of deepest anatomical regions. Ideal for maximum visibility in most complex surgical approaches.

Advantages of the Sauerbruch Retractor FIG-3:

• Panoramic Exposure: The 72 mm wide blade enables retraction of extremely large tissue areas in a single motion
• Optimal Depth Effect: The special angulation combines width effect with effective deep retraction
• Maximum Overview: Creates an exceptionally wide visual field for complex procedures in thorax, abdomen, and retroperitoneum
• Reduced Tissue Stress: The large contact surface distributes pressure evenly and minimizes local tissue trauma
• Strategic Efficiency: Can replace several standard retractors and simplifies OR management during large approaches

Fields of Application (Specialty Indications):

• Thoracic Surgery (Mega-Thoracotomies): For extensive lung resections, pleurectomies, or mediastinal major tumor resections
• Visceral Maximum Surgery: During liver transplantations, multivisceral resections, or complete gastrectomies
• Spinal Surgery (Large Approaches): For extensive dorsal instrumentations or correction surgeries of the entire spine
• Oncologic Major Resections: Exposure during en-bloc resections of giant retroperitoneal tumors
• Trauma Surgery (Polytrauma): During simultaneous exposure of multiple body regions in damage-control surgery

Important Safety and Application Notes:

• FOR HIGHLY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY
• Apply only under optimal visibility conditions and sufficient illumination
• Extreme caution during positioning – the large width requires precise placement and control
• Conscious, even force application – uneven traction can lead to tissue tears
• Controlled retraction technique – the leverage effect at this size requires special care
• Not suitable for tight or superficial approaches – specifically designed for maximum exposure
• Check for deformations before each use – especially control stability of angle transitions
• Two-handed guidance recommended for optimal control during application
• During reprocessing intensively clean the large surface and all angles
• Special storage required – protect from bending or deformation of the wide blade
