Benefits of the Toothed MEYERDING Retractor FIG-3:

• Positive Grip: The sharp teeth securely engage fascia, periosteum, or dense connective tissue, ensuring stable retraction without constant readjustment.
• Deep Precision: The narrow, toothed blade penetrates precisely into deep wound corners, enabling exposure of even hard-to-reach structures.
• Ideal for Slippery Surfaces: Perfect for retraction on bony edges (e.g., lamina, iliac crest) or in wet surgical fields.
• Minimally Invasive: The compact size reduces access trauma and improves visualization by minimizing tissue displacement.
• Neurosurgical Precision: Enables safe, controlled retraction near neural structures.

Fields of Application:

• Precise Spinal Surgery: Retraction of deep muscle or fascia in microsurgical lumbar or cervical discectomies and fusions.
• Neurosurgery: Targeted exposure in small craniotomies or at the skull base.
• Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery: Secure grasping of bony fragments or periosteum during osteosynthesis of the hand, foot, or elbow.
• Demanding General Surgery: Retraction in deep, narrow abdominal or pelvic approaches where smooth retractors slip.

Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Caution with Teeth: Apply deliberately to avoid unintended tissue perforation or injury to delicate structures (nerves, vessels).
• Inspect the sharpness and integrity of the teeth before each use.
• Do not use for retraction of parenchymal or friable organs.
• Always apply under direct visual control.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
