Ultra-Fine Micro Retractor with 35° Angulation for Highest Precision Access in Microsurgical, Ophthalmic and Aesthetic Facial Surgery
The ZENKER RETRACTOR with a 35° angled blade (35 mm x 8 mm / 26.0 cm) is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This ultra-fine and short variant is specifically designed for maximum precision in extremely small and superficial surgical fields where conventional retractors would be too large and unwieldy. Ideal for microsurgical dissections and aesthetic-functional procedures in the facial region.
Product Highlights:
✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Ultra-short, narrow blade (35 mm x 8 mm) – for microsurgical precision and minimal tissue load
✔ Precise 35° angulation – optimizes visualization into the deepest corners of small incisions
✔ Overall length of 26.0 cm for macroscopic control during microscopic application
✔ High-quality, specially hardness-optimized surgical stainless steel – for maximum stability with minimal cross-section
✔ High-gloss polished, with micro-fine rounded edges for absolute atraumaticity
✔ Lightest, balanced construction with extra-small finger ring for forceps-like guidance
✔ Satin finish for reflection-free work under high magnification
✔ Sterilizable and reusable
Benefits of the 35mm/35° Zenker Micro Retractor:
• Microsurgical Precision: Enables pinpoint holding of the smallest structures (e.g., nerve fascicles, small vessels, eyelid margin) without collateral damage.
• Minimally Invasive Design: The short blade fits even into tiny accesses (e.g., transconjunctival, endoscopic, or mini-open incisions) without crushing surrounding tissue.
• Optimal Visualization in Tight Spaces: The 35° angulation provides ideal illumination and viewing capability into the deepest layers of small surgical cavities.
• Perfect for Sensitive Regions: Specifically developed for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facial nerve surgery, endoscopic brow lift approaches, and other high-aesthetic procedures.
• Reduced Tissue Trauma: Minimal contact area and optimal force transmission prevent pressure necrosis on delicate structures.

Areas of Application:
• Oculoplastic and aesthetic eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty, Ptosis Surgery)
• Microsurgical peripheral nerve surgery (e.g., facial nerve reconstruction)
• Endoscopic facial aesthetic-surgical procedures
• Reconstructive ear and nasal tip surgery
• Hand surgery (for smallest accesses)
• All microsurgical procedures requiring an ultra-precise, fine retractor
Critical Safety and Handling Information:
• FOR USE BY SPECIALIZED MICROSURGEONS, OPHTHALMIC SURGEONS, OR PLASTIC SURGEONS WITH APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE ONLY.
• Extreme Caution in Handling: The extremely thin and short blade is designed for minimal lateral pressure, NOT for pulling forces. Excessive force will immediately cause permanent deformation.
• Pre-Use Inspection: Inspect under magnification for minute bends, scratches, or roughness of the tip. Even the smallest deformations can impair precision and cause tissue injury.
• Special Cleaning Required: Due to the small dimensions and to avoid bending, manual cleaning is recommended. Do not place with other instruments in a mesh cleaning tray.
• Special Storage: Always store in the provided protective cap or in a soft, padded instrument tray.
