Long, Sharp Rake Retractor for Deep and Broad Access with Powerful Hold
The SHARP RAKE RETRACTOR 10.0 CM is a medical device of CE Class I according to ISO 13485:2016. This large-format and powerful instrument is designed for stable and secure retraction of dense skin, subcutaneous, and muscle tissue in deep or extensive surgical approaches. With its remarkable length of 10.0 cm, it offers superior leverage and accessibility for demanding deep wound cavities.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Directive 93/42/EEC)
✔ Large-format design for deep and broad access
✔ Sharp, robust prongs for maximum hold on dense tissue
✔ Significant length: 10.0 cm for excellent reach and leverage
✔ High-quality Stainless Steel 1.4301 – rust-proof and biocompatible
✔ Verified biocompatibility according to ISO 10993
✔ Reinforced spring mechanism for high and stable tension force
✔ Sterilizable and reusable (autoclavable)
Advantages of the Sharp Rake Retractor 10.0 cm:
• Superior Deep Tissue Retraction: The exceptional length of 10.0 cm allows for reaching and retracting tissue in the deepest wound layers where standard rakes cannot reach.
• Maximum Holding Power: The sharp, robust prongs (depending on model, e.g., 4x5 or 5x6 teeth) deeply engage firm muscle or fascial tissue, preventing slippage even under high tension.
• Broad Exposure of Deep Fields: Enables retraction of large tissue masses for optimal visibility in depth, e.g., in hip surgery or major abdominal revision procedures.
• Robust Construction for Demanding Use: Specially reinforced spring and sturdier tines for prolonged, powerful retraction without material fatigue.
• True Alternative to Hand-Held Retractors: Can often be placed more effectively in deep areas than hooks held by an assistant.
Technical Specifications:
• Model: Rake Retractor, sharp, large
• Type: Long, powerful spring retractor for deep tissue
• Total Length: 10.0 cm
• Prongs: Sharp and robust (typical configurations: 4x5 or 5x6 teeth – please specify)
• Material: Stainless Steel 1.4301 (high-gloss polished)
• Mechanism: High-strength, reinforced spring
• Special Feature: Instrument for demanding deep retraction in Orthopedics, Traumatology, and Visceral Surgery
• Risk Class: I according to Directive 93/42/EEC
• Reprocessing: Fully autoclavable; intensive cleaning between prongs required due to length and depth
Areas of Application:
• Deep approaches in orthopedic and trauma surgery (e.g., hip replacement, management of pelvic fractures)
• Extensive abdominal or thoracic revision surgeries
• Large dermatologic oncology resections with deep subcutaneous excision
• Reconstructive procedures with large myocutaneous flaps
• Deep retropubic or pelvic approaches in Urology/Gynecology
Important Safety Notes:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED SURGEONS IN DEEP AND/OR LARGE SURGICAL FIELDS ONLY.
• Before each use, conduct a thorough visual inspection for bending, cracks (especially at hinges/spring transitions), and sharp prong tips.
• EXTREME CAUTION: The sharp prongs are designed for maximum hold in dense tissue. Careless placement or excessive force can cause severe tissue damage, nerve, or vascular injury.
• Due to its length, there is an increased risk of bending. Do not misuse as a lever for moving bones or organs.
• Spring tension must be applied in a controlled and measured manner. Prolonged ischemia of the grasped tissue must be avoided – periodic release is mandatory.
• Special Reprocessing Challenge: The length and tight spaces between prongs require a strict and validated cleaning protocol.
• Discard immediately at the slightest sign of material fatigue, corrosion, or functional failure.
