MEYERDING RETRACTOR FIG-4 10MM X 3MM

MEYERDING RETRACTOR • FIG-4 • 10MM X 3MM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Fine Precision Retractor for Superficial and Minimally Invasive Surgical Approaches

The MEYERDING Retractor FIG-4 with working dimensions of 10mm wide x 3mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. As the smallest and most delicate variant in the MEYERDING series, this retractor is specifically designed for gentle tissue retraction in superficial layers and confined, minimally invasive approaches where bulkier instruments would be obstructive.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Finest FIG-4 (Figure-4) configuration for minimally invasive surgery
✔ Minimal blade size (10mm x 3mm) for precision in superficial layers
➤ Ideal for small incisions and limited-access surgery
✔ Precision-forged from high-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L
✔ Satin finish for glare-free visibility
✔ Slim, lightweight handle design for superior tactile control
✔ Autoclavable and reusable

Benefits of the MEYERDING Retractor FIG-4:

• Maximum Precision: The small, shallow blade allows for millimeter-accurate retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, or small muscles without unnecessary tissue displacement.
• Minimally Invasive: Perfectly suited for short incisions, stab incisions, or endoscopically-assisted approaches where space is limited.
• Atraumatic: The minimal depth and width reduce the risk of tissue trauma or pressure necrosis, especially in sensitive areas.
• Excellent Visualization: Creates a sufficient yet deliberately focused field of view to maintain focus on the key anatomical structure.
• Versatile Delicate Tool: The standard instrument for any procedure requiring finesse over forceful leverage.

Technical Specifications:

• Model: MEYERDING Retractor, Type FIG-4
• Working Dimensions: Width 10mm × Depth 3mm
• Design: Single-ended hook, classic "Figure-4" shape with smooth inner edge
• Material: Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4401 / 316L
• Surface: Matte/Satin (non-reflective)
• Sterilisation: Autoclavable up to 138°C (steam sterilisation)
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)

Fields of Application:

• Hand Surgery: Retraction during tendon repair, nerve reconstruction, or ganglion resection.
• Dermatologic & Plastic Surgery: Precise wound edge retraction in skin tumor excisions or aesthetic procedures.
• Minor Orthopaedic Procedures: Access aid in removal of osteosynthesis material (plates, screws) or joint aspirations.
• Vascular Surgery: Exposure of superficial vessels in shunt or bypass surgery.
• General Ambulatory Surgery: Retraction in small incisions for biopsies, abscess drainage, or laceration repair.

Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Due to its delicate construction, it has a higher risk of bending – do not use for retracting resistant, dense tissue.
• Inspect for bending or damage before each use.
➤ Suitable only for superficial and intermediate tissue layers. For deep retraction, more robust models (FIG-1 to FIG-3) are required.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
