FARABEUF RETRACTOR FIG-2 12,0CM

FARABEUF RETRACTOR • FIG-2 • 12.0CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Fine, Sharp Dissection Hook for Precise Dissection and Wound Edge Retraction in Plastic and Microsurgical Surgery

The FARABEUF RETRACTOR Type FIG-2 (12.0 cm) is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This hook features a fine, sharp tip and is specifically designed for precise dissection, cutting of fine tissue fibers, and holding tensioned tissue edges. It offers a sharp alternative to the blunt FIG-1 variant.

Product Highlights:

✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Farabeuf shape with sharp tip (Fig-2) for precise dissecting and holding
✔ Compact length of 12.0 cm for optimal control in superficial tissue layers
✔ High-quality, hardened surgical stainless steel 1.4301 – for long-lasting sharpness and precision
✔ Finely ground, sharp hook edge for clean cutting of connective tissue fibers
✔ Right-angled (90°) bent tip for direct access and leverage
✔ Ergonomic, closed finger ring for sensitive and secure guidance
✔ Matte finish for glare-free work
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Benefits of the Farabeuf Retractor FIG-2:

• Precise Dissection: The sharp edge allows for clean and controlled cutting of fine fibrous adhesions, septa, or fascial bands during dissection.
• Ideal for Sharp-Blunt Dissection: Can be used as a versatile instrument for holding, tensioning, and simultaneously sharply releasing tissue connections.
• Excellent Control Under Tension: Enables holding and slight lifting of tissue edges while dissecting along the same line with other instruments (e.g., scissors, scalpel).
• Optimized for Demanding Plastic Procedures: Particularly valuable in dissections in aesthetic surgery (e.g., SMAS dissection in facelift), where precise and tissue-sparing techniques are crucial.
• Reduces Instrument Changes: Can perform both holding and light dissection tasks, speeding up workflow.

Areas of Application:

• Precise dissection in plastic-aesthetic surgery (facelift, body contouring)
• Microsurgical dissection (e.g., during nerve or vessel exposure)
• Hand surgery procedures with fine dissection
• Dermatological surgery (excisions with sharp dissection)
• Ophthalmic plastic surgery (eyelid surgery)

Critical Safety and Handling Information (Critical!):

• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGEONS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF SHARP DISSECTION ONLY.
• Conscious and Controlled Application: The sharp tip requires utmost care and control. It is intended for fine dissecting movements, not for rough pulling or levering forces.
• Risk of Unintentional Injuries: Due to its sharpness, there is an increased risk of unintentional puncture or cut injuries to tissue or the user. Always direct away from your own body and important structures.
• Caution Near Sensitive Structures: Exercise particular caution near nerves, vessels, ducts (e.g., parotid duct), or near implants.
• Regular Sharpness Inspection: Before each use, check the sharpness and integrity of the tip. A dull or chipped tip can tear tissue instead of cutting it.
• Safe Transport and Storage: Due to the sharp tip, the instrument should always be transported and stored securely (e.g., in a protective cap or puncture-proof container).
