Ultra-Wide Flat Retractor for Maximum Exposure in the Most Extensive Surgical Approaches
The KELLY RETRACTOR with the extraordinary dimensions of 190 mm width and 38 mm height is a CE Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This ultra-wide version of the classical retractor is designed for the maximum, broad, and controlled exposure required in the most extensive surgical approaches, such as in orthopedics, trauma surgery, or major soft tissue reconstructions. It offers unparalleled width control.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR)
✔ Ultra-wide blade (190 mm) for controlling extremely large exposure areas
✔ Flat, low-profile construction (38 mm) for minimal space requirement in depth
✔ Long standard length (27 cm) for excellent reach and leverage
✔ Slightly concave shaped blade for better adaptation to extensive tissue contours
✔ Fully rounded and polished edges for highest atraumatic quality
✔ High-quality surgical stainless steel in a stable, width-optimized version
✔ Long, ergonomic handle for secure handling even under exertion
✔ Autoclavable and designed for maximum procedures
Benefits of the Kelly Retractor (190x38 mm):
• Maximum Width Exposure: The 190 mm wide blade can expose and retract an extremely large surgical site segment, which is crucial for large orthopedic approaches (e.g., pelvis, proximal femur) or extensive soft tissue defects.
• Optimal Depth Effect with Low Obstruction: Despite the enormous width, the profile remains flat (38 mm), so the instrument itself does not block the view and access to the deep operative field.
• Ideal for Large Areas: Perfectly suited for securely holding aside large muscle groups (e.g., gluteal muscles, thigh musculature) or extensive subcutaneous flaps.
• Increased OR Efficiency: Can replace several standard retractors and significantly simplifies overview in large-area procedures.
• Robust Precision: Manufactured for long-term use under high load in major reconstructions or tumor resections.

• Handle Form: Very long, straight, and solid handle
• Material: High-quality surgical stainless steel (e.g., 1.4301 / 316L)
• Surface: High-gloss polished or matte finish
• Special Feature: Ultra-wide design for maximum exposure of large anatomical areas
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR
Areas of Application:
• Maximum exposure in major orthopedic and trauma surgical approaches (pelvis, proximal femur, spine)
• Extensive reconstructive procedures in plastic and tumor surgery
• Major vascular surgical approaches with extensive soft tissue mantle
• Revision surgeries with large-area scarring
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Use under aseptic conditions only.
• Inspect for structural integrity and deformations before each use, particularly for possible bending of the very wide but flat blade.
• The extreme width creates great leverage. Pressure must be distributed evenly across the entire blade surface and applied in a very measured manner to avoid shear forces on the tissue.
• Special care is required when placing the very wide instrument to avoid compressing surrounding structures.
• When reusing, reprocessing guidelines must be strictly followed; cleaning the very large surface requires suitable brushes.
