Benefits of the MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor:

• Optimised for Small Approaches: The compact design allows for precise work in small incisions without obstructing the field of view or excessively displacing surrounding tissue.
• Depth with Precision: Despite its handy size, the 6mm deep, sharp-edged blade provides effective deep retraction for procedures beneath the surface.
• Versatile Use in Fine Surgery: The standard instrument for hand surgery, minor orthopaedic procedures, plastic surgery, and many ambulatory operations.
• Superior Maneuverability: The short lever arm and low weight enable delicate, fatigue-free handling over long operative periods.
• Ideal for Combined Use: Often used in pairs to hold a small, deep access point stable and symmetrical.

Fields of Application:

• Hand Surgery: Precise retraction in carpal tunnel release, Dupuytren's fasciectomy, tendon repair, or small joint procedures.
• Minor Orthopaedics & Trauma: Retraction during removal of osteosynthesis material (plates, screws), stabilisation of finger fractures, or arthrodesis of small joints.
• Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery: Targeted exposure in eyelid corrections (blepharoplasty), otoplasty, nasal tip corrections, or minor liposuction.

• Ambulatory General Surgery: Retraction in minor procedures such as ganglion resection, abscess drainage, or excision of lipomas.

Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• The sharp-edged blade requires careful, controlled guidance under direct vision to avoid unintended laceration injuries.
• Due to the short handle, leverage is limited – do not use for retracting resistant or dense tissue.
• Inspect for damage to the sharp edge before each use.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
