MEYERDING RETRACTOR FIG-6 10MM X 4MM

MEYERDING RETRACTOR • FIG-6 • 10MM X 4MM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Universal Precision Retractor with Optimised Depth for Medium Surgical Approaches

The MEYERDING Retractor FIG-6 with working dimensions of 10mm wide x 4mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This balanced variant combines the moderate width of a FIG-4 with the slightly greater depth of a FIG-3, offering a versatile all-round solution for medium-depth retraction in numerous surgical specialties.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Balanced FIG-6 shape for optimal compromise between width and depth
✔ Versatile all-round dimensions: Wide enough for stability (10mm), deep enough for access (4mm)
➤ The ideal workhorse for daily routine surgery
✔ Precision-forged from high-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L
✔ Perfectly satinated surface for glare-free visibility
✔ Comfortably shaped, grippy shaft for secure and fatigue-free handling
✔ Autoclavable and reusable

Benefits of the MEYERDING Retractor FIG-6:

• Optimised Depth Performance: The 4mm depth allows effective work below the surface without needing the massive leverage of a FIG-1 – ideal for medium-depth wounds.
• Stable yet Tissue-Sparing Width: The 10mm width provides sufficient surface area for stable retraction while remaining slim enough not to obstruct in standardised approaches.
• Maximum Versatility: The most frequent "go-to" instrument in many specialties for procedures that are neither extremely superficial nor extremely deep.
• Reduced Instrument Switching: Due to its balanced design, it is often the only single-hook model needed for an entire procedure.
• Ergonomic Excellence: Perfectly balanced between leverage and manoeuvrability.

➤ Apply under direct visual control to avoid injury to underlying structures.
• For extremely deep or high-force retraction (e.g., spine, pelvis), the larger FIG-1 or FIG-2 models are preferable.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
