Broad-Bladed Compact Retractor for Stable Exposure in Small to Medium Approaches
The MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor with working dimensions of 17mm wide x 5mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This slightly enlarged version of the compact Langenbeck retractor combines the handy design with a broader contact surface (17mm) for more stable and tissue-sparing retraction in more demanding small surgical approaches.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Broad-bladed MINI-Langenbeck configuration for small yet powerful approaches
➤ Optimal width (17mm) for stable surface retraction without being oversized
➤ Shallow depth (5mm) for controlled, superficial to intermediate-depth retraction
✔ Precision-forged from high-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L
✔ Matte, non-reflective finish for optimal visibility
✔ Short, ergonomically shaped handle for precise handling with good leverage
✔ Autoclavable and reusable
Benefits of the Broad MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor:
• More Stable Exposure: The 17mm wide blade surface provides a secure hold on tissue, preventing cut-through or slippage, especially with more resistant tissue.
• Tissue-Sparing through Pressure Distribution: The broader contact area distributes retraction pressure more evenly, reducing the risk of localised pressure necrosis compared to narrower hooks.
• Ideal Compromise: Offers more stability than the 10mm variant while remaining significantly more manageable and less invasive than a large standard Langenbeck.
• Versatile in Hand and Small Joint Surgery: Perfect for procedures on the wrist, elbow, ankle, or for larger soft tissue procedures on the hand.
• Efficient Workflow: The width allows for faster exposure of the target area while maintaining precision.
Technical Specifications:
• Model: LANGENBECK Retractor, Mini Size, broad
• Working Dimensions: Width 17mm × Depth 5mm
• Design: Single-ended, sharp-edged hook with a broad, flat-curved blade
• Material: Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4401 / 316L
• Surface: Matte/Satin (non-reflective)
• Sterilisation: Autoclavable up to 138°C (steam sterilisation)
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Fields of Application:
• Advanced Hand Surgery: Retraction in trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty (rhizarthrosis), complex tendon reconstructions, or carpal procedures.
• Small Joint Surgery: Arthrotomies or synovectomies of the elbow, wrist, or upper ankle joint.
• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: During elevation of small to medium local flaps (e.g., on the forearm or lower leg).
• Dermatologic Surgery (Large Lesions): For controlled exposure during excision of larger skin tumors or subcutaneous dissection.
• Orthopaedic Procedures on Small Long Bones: Retraction during osteosynthesis of metacarpals, metatarsals, or the distal fibula.
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• Despite its width, the sharp-edged blade remains a cutting instrument – continue to apply under direct vision and with controlled pressure.
• The shallower depth (5mm) makes this instrument less suitable for very deep, narrow approaches.
• Inspect for damage to the sharp edge and possible bending before each use.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
