Compact Large-Surface Retractor for Maximum Exposure in Limited Surgical Approaches
The MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor with working dimensions of 20mm wide x 6mm deep is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This maximized compact version combines the handy Langenbeck form with a large-surface retraction capability (20mm x 6mm) and is the instrument of choice when broad and deep exposure is required within relatively small surgical approaches.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 - MDR)
✔ Maximized MINI-Langenbeck configuration for powerful retraction in compact approaches
➤ Wide blade (20mm) for efficient surface retraction and pressure distribution
➤ Sufficient depth (6mm) for secure engagement of intermediate tissue layers
✔ Precision-forged from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel 1.4401/316L
✔ Matte, non-glare surface for optimal visibility in the surgical field
✔ Sturdy yet ergonomic handle design for controlled force application
✔ Autoclavable and reusable
Benefits of the Large-Surface MINI-LANGENBECK Retractor:
• Maximum Exposure with Minimal Access: Provides exceptional visibility through broad tissue retraction, even along longer incisions, without requiring a large standard retractor.
• Secure Hold through Large Contact Area: The 20mm wide cutting edge offers an extremely secure grip, minimizes tissue trauma from point pressure, and prevents slippage even with resistant tissue.
• Optimal Balance of Size and Handling: Delivers the surface effect of a large instrument while remaining compact in length and grip, making it ideal for precise, controlled movements.
• Reduces Instrument Changes: Often the only retraction instrument needed for entire procedures in small joint or hand surgery.
• Versatile Powerhouse: The preferred choice for demanding small to medium procedures where tissue tension and stability are critical.
Technical Specifications:

Fields of Application:
• Advanced Hand Surgery: Retraction in complex wrist arthrodeses, scapholunate ligament reconstruction, or large contracture excisions (Dupuytren's).
• Mini-Invasive Knee Surgery: Retraction in mini-open knee TKA, patellar realignment, or arthrolysis.
• Orthopaedic Foot Surgery: For approaches in chevron osteotomy, Lapidus arthrodesis, or management of metatarsal fractures.
• Plastic Surgery: Broad retraction during elevation of medium-sized local flaps (e.g., parascapular flap) or in larger soft tissue reconstructions.
• Dermatologic Major Excisions: Controlled exposure and tension during removal of larger skin tumors with primary closure.
Important Safety Instructions:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
• The sharp, wide blade creates significant leverage – apply controlled, measured pressure to avoid unintentional cutting through tissue.
• Not suitable for extremely small or superficial approaches (e.g., on fingers).
• Inspect for sharpness, structural integrity, and possible deformations before each use.
• For reuse, strictly adhere to current reprocessing guidelines.
