Professional Compact Precision Retractor with 35° Angulation for Deep and Minimal-Access Approaches in Thyroid, Pediatric and Plastic Facial Surgery
The ZENKER RETRACTOR with a 35° angled blade (60 mm x 12 mm / 26.0 cm) is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This compact variant of the classic Zenker retractor combines the proven 35° angulation with a shorter blade length for even more precise and gentle work in confined, more superficial, or pediatric anatomical conditions. Ideal for minimally invasive techniques and precise dissection planes.
Product Highlights:
✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Precise 35° angulation for ergonomic depth visualization with minimal space requirement
✔ Compact blade (60 mm long, 12 mm wide) – ideal for smaller incisions and precise accesses
✔ Overall length of 26.0 cm for excellent balance and control in hand
✔ High-quality Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) – biocompatible, corrosion-resistant
✔ High-gloss polished, fully rounded and atraumatic blade tip
✔ Lightweight, ergonomic design with closed, smaller finger ring for sensitive guidance
✔ Satin (matte) finish for glare-free work under loupes or microscope
✔ Sterilizable and reusable
Benefits of the 60mm/35° Zenker Retractor:
• Optimal Visualization in Confined Spaces: The shorter 60 mm blade length allows for extremely precise placement in small wounds or incisions (e.g., minimally invasive thyroid surgery, facial approaches) without unintentionally contacting deep structures.
• Maximized Precision: Perfect for selectively retracting specific small structures such as the upper thyroid pole, small nerve branches, or skin flaps in plastic surgery.
• Low Trauma Risk: The reduced length minimizes the risk of reaching behind target structures and exerting pressure on deeper tissue.
• Ideal for Smaller Anatomy: The first choice in pediatric surgery or adult patients with slender neck anatomy.
• Improved Ergonomics: Enables very fine, almost forceps-like guidance of the retractor for microsurgical dissection steps.
Technical Specifications:

• Packaging: Individually packed in sterilizable peel pouch
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Areas of Application:
• Minimally invasive and conventional thyroid surgery
• Pediatric head and neck surgery
• Plastic and reconstructive facial surgery
• Parotidectomy (superficial part) and submandibular gland approaches
• Microsurgical procedures in the head and neck region
• Any procedure requiring precise, superficial retraction with good depth visualization
Important Safety and Application Information:
• FOR USE BY SURGICAL PROFESSIONALS WITH EXPERIENCE IN MICROSURGICAL TECHNIQUES ONLY.
• The short length requires particular care during placement to prevent slipping out of the wound. However, it provides less leverage, making unintended high forces less likely.
• Not suitable for retraction of massive or thick tissue – risk of bending.
• Before each use, inspect the fine tip for sharpness or deformation.
• Particularly thorough cleaning of the narrow blade surface is required.
