Symmetrical, Sharp Rake Retractor for Powerful and Even Retraction of Soft Tissue
The ALM RETRACTOR is a medical device of CE Class I according to ISO 13485:2016. This robust rake retractor is characterized by its unique symmetrical, sharp 4x4 prong design and is intended for powerful, deep, and even retraction of dense subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or muscle in medium to large surgical approaches. With a length of 7.0 cm, it offers optimal leverage and control.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Directive 93/42/EEC)
✔ Symmetrical 4x4 prong design for even force distribution
✔ Robust, sharp prongs for maximum hold in dense tissue
✔ Optimal working length: 7.0 cm for versatile applications
✔ High-quality Stainless Steel 1.4301 – rust-proof and biocompatible
✔ Verified biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Stable spring mechanism with precise tension adjustment
✔ Sterilizable and reusable (autoclavable)
Advantages of the Alm Retractor:
• Symmetrical Force Distribution: The unique 4x4 prong design on both sides allows for absolutely even force transfer to the tissue, preventing one-sided cutting or twisting of the wound edge.
• Deep and Secure Grip: The strong, sharp prongs reliably penetrate firm tissue, providing exceptional hold even on highly tense or difficult-to-grasp tissue layers (e.g., fascia, muscle aponeurosis).
• Ideal Balance of Size and Power: At 7.0 cm in length, it is maneuverable enough for precise placement yet long enough for good leverage during demanding retraction.
• Standard in General and Vascular Surgery: Particularly proven in procedures with tough tissue conditions such as groin and abdominal wall surgery.
• Robust and Durable Construction: Designed for frequent use in the OR.
Technical Specifications:
• Model: ALM Retractor, sharp
• Type: Symmetrical spring retractor with sharp prongs
• Total Length: 7.0 cm
• Prongs: Symmetrical, sharp; 4 prongs on each side (4x4)
• Material: Stainless Steel 1.4301 (high-gloss polished)
• Mechanism: Strong, adjustable spring
• Special Feature: Classic instrument for powerful retraction in General and Visceral Surgery
• Risk Class: I according to Directive 93/42/EEC
• Reprocessing: Fully autoclavable; thorough cleaning between prongs required
Areas of Application:
• General Surgery: Especially hernia surgery (inguinal, incisional) with retraction of the aponeurosis
• Vascular Surgery: Approaches to vessels in dense tissue layers
• Visceral Surgery: Retraction during laparotomies and open abdominal procedures
• Orthopedic Surgery: Approaches on extremities with tough fascia
• Urological Surgery: Retraction during deep pelvic approaches
Important Safety Notes:
• FOR USE BY QUALIFIED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Before each use, inspect for cleanliness, sharpness, and integrity of all 8 prong tips, as well as for a functional spring.
• CAUTION: The sharp, robust prongs are designed for dense tissue. Improper use on thin skin or near nerves/vessels can cause significant injury.
• The symmetrical construction requires even placement on the tissue to avoid one-sided cutting.
• Spring tension should always be applied in a measured manner to avoid ischemic damage to the grasped tissue.
• Discard immediately if prongs become dull, bent, or broken, or if spring tension weakens.
