FARABEUF RETRACTOR SET 15CM

FARABEUF RETRACTOR SET • 15CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Extended Hook Pair for Wider Access and Deeper Dissection in Plastic-Reconstructive and General Surgical Surgery

The FARABEUF RETRACTOR SET (15 cm) is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This set of two identical, extended hook spatulas with fine angled tips is designed for the precise and atraumatic retraction of wound edges and tissue layers during deeper or more extensive surgical approaches. The additional length provides greater reach and leverage.

Set Product Highlights:

✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Complete 2-piece pair of identical, extended hooks (15 cm)
✔ Classic Farabeuf shape in extended version: Slender, longer shaft with a fine, right-angled (90°) bent tip
✔ Optimal length of 15 cm for better reach and control during deeper dissections
✔ High-quality Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4301 – rust-proof, corrosion-resistant and tissue-friendly
✔ Atraumatic, rounded tip ends to protect tissue
✔ Ergonomic, closed finger rings for sensitive bimanual guidance
✔ Matte finish to reduce light glare
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Benefits of the Extended Farabeuf Retractor Set:

• Improved Reach for Deeper Approaches: Ideal for procedures where wound edges or structures to be dissected are located deeper, such as in reconstructive procedures on the breast, trunk, or extremities.
• Better Leverage and Tissue Control: The longer levers enable more effective holding and tensioning of larger or thicker skin and tissue flaps.
• Symmetrical and Stable Exposure: Like the shorter set, it allows precise, bimanual retraction of wound edges for optimized visibility and suture adaptation, now also at greater depth.
• Reduced Hand Fatigue: Allows the surgeon a more ergonomic hand position away from the immediate wound area, especially during long suture lines.
• Versatile in Reconstructive Surgery: A valuable set for suturing after flap procedures, large excisions, or during the management of extensive defects.

Areas of Application for the Set:

• Suturing techniques in plastic-reconstructive surgery (e.g., after flap procedures, mammoplasty or abdominoplasty)
• Management of large dermatological excisions
• General surgical sutures on the trunk and extremities
• Mucosal suture during extensive procedures in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Vascular suture on deeper-lying vessels
• Suture of deep fascial layers

Important Safety and Handling Information for the Set:

• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Conscious Handling of the Extended Tip: The additional length requires increased attention to avoid unintentional snagging or injury to structures outside the direct field of view.
• Atraumatic Handling Remains Paramount: The hooks are designed for gentle, lateral traction. The longer levers must not be misused for excessive force application.
• Symmetrical Force Application: Even with longer levers, aim for even, mirror-image force during bimanual use.
• Visual Inspection and Joint Storage: Inspect both hooks for bends before use. Always store together as a pair.
