✔ CE marking Class I (Directive 93/42/EEC)
✔ Classic GOELET design with broad, blunt contact surface
✔ Versatile length of 19.0 cm for precise work in small and medium-sized incisions
✔ High-quality Stainless Steel 1.4301 – rust-proof and biocompatible
✔ Verified biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Blunt, rounded hook edges for maximum tissue preservation
✔ Ergonomic, flat handle for a comfortable and secure grip
✔ Sterilizable and reusable (autoclavable)

Advantages of the Goelet Retractor:

• Atraumatic Broad Retraction: The wide, blunt, and slightly curved shape distributes retraction pressure evenly over a large tissue area, minimizing the risk of pressure necrosis or incision marks.
• Optimal Exposure: Allows for broad and stable retraction of wound margins, providing a clear view of the underlying surgical field without damaging tissue.
• Ideal for Sensitive Areas: Particularly suitable for surgery in the facial, neck, and breast regions, where aesthetic outcomes and minimal tissue trauma are top priorities.
• Easy Handling: The flat, easy-to-grip handle ensures secure manipulation and precise control over the retraction angle.
• High-Quality Craftsmanship: Precision-made from surgical stainless steel for durability, optimal gliding properties, and easy sterilization.
