KADER RETRACTOR 30MM 27,0CM

KADER RETRACTOR • 30MM • 27.0CM • CE-CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Robust Skin Hook for Deeper and Broader Tissue Retraction in General, Thoracic and Orthopedic Soft Tissue Surgery

The KADER RETRACTOR 30 mm / 27.0 cm is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This larger variant of the classic single-prong hook with a hook diameter of 30 mm is designed for more robust retraction of stronger tissue such as fascia, muscle, or capsular tissue. It offers more volume and grip for more demanding approaches while maintaining an atraumatic tip geometry.

Product Highlights:

✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Larger, more robust hook head (Ø 30 mm) for secure grip on firmer tissue
✔ Versatile working length of 27.0 cm for good reach and control
✔ High-quality, reinforced surgical stainless steel 1.4301 – for increased stability under load
✔ Atraumatic, fully rounded and polished hook surface for tissue-sparing work
✔ Reinforced transition from hook to shaft for increased durability
✔ Ergonomic, closed finger ring for direct force transmission
✔ Satin (matte) finish to reduce light glare
✔ Sterilizable and reusable

Benefits of the 30mm Kader Retractor:

• Improved Holding Power: The larger hook head (30 mm) provides more surface area and volume to securely grip fibrous or muscular tissue without cutting through.
• Deeper Retraction: Enables reaching and holding back tissue in slightly deeper layers, e.g., during thoracic or abdominal approaches.
• Reduced Slipping: The larger contact area minimizes the risk of slipping out of the tissue, especially with firmer or tensed tissue.
• Ideal for Fascial and Capsular Tissue: Perfectly suited for holding and retracting fascia lata, joint capsules, or muscle bellies.
• Robust All-Round Instrument: A reliable choice for more demanding general surgical, trauma surgical, and orthopedic soft tissue procedures.

Areas of Application:

• General and Visceral Surgery (e.g., for deeper abdominal or thoracic approaches)
• Orthopedic Soft Tissue Surgery (e.g., for retraction of muscle or capsular tissue)
• Trauma Surgery (e.g., in the management of larger soft tissue wounds)
• Vascular Surgery (e.g., for exposure of larger vessels)
• Gynecological procedures (e.g., abdominal hysterectomies)

Important Safety and Handling Information:

• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Targeted Application: Although more robust, this hook is also primarily a retraction and holding instrument. The blunt tip is not suitable for levering, cutting, or excessive pulling forces.
• Consider Pressure Distribution: The larger hook head distributes force over a larger area, yet force application should be controlled to avoid crushing.
• Caution Near Sensitive Structures: Exercise particular care near nerves, major vessels, or hollow organs, as the larger tip can displace more tissue.
• Visual Inspection: Before each use, inspect for deformations, especially at the hook junction.
• Thorough Cleaning: Due to the larger surface area, thorough cleaning of the hook surface is required.
