Advantages of the VOLKMANN Retractor (1 sharp prong):

• Precision Work: The single sharp prong allows for the pinpoint grasping and retracting of specific tissue structures like fascial edges, capsular tissue, or tendon insertions.
• Depth Effectiveness: Ideal for retraction in narrow or deep surgical sites where multi-prong retractors would be too imprecise or bulky.
• Secure Grip: The ergonomic rake handle provides excellent, non-slip control even with gloved hands for controlled movements.
• Versatile Surgical Tool: Suitable not only for retraction but also for sharp hooking and presentation of structures or for releasing adherent tissue layers.
• Proven Design: Forged from a single piece for maximum stability and direct force transmission.

• Use only for the targeted retraction of tight connective tissue or fascia. Not suitable for delicate structures such as nerves, blood vessels, or parenchymal organs.
• Application requires surgical finesse and a steady hand to prevent slipping or unintended injury to adjacent structures.
• For reprocessing, strictly follow applicable guidelines for surgical stainless steel instruments, paying special attention to prong sharpness.
• If the prong becomes dull or if visible defects are present, discard immediately and have it professionally sharpened.
