Lower Frame and Cranial Caudal (C/C) Blade Inser-
tion
►
After inserting the final dilation diameter, select
the length of the cranial-caudal (C/C) retractor
blades based on the depth indicator on the dilator.
►
Insert the C/C blades into the assembled "lower"
frame (ME302R, ME303R, ME304R) by loosening
the grub screw, engaging the blades into the frame
and then tightening the grub screw.
►
Close the retractor, creating a tube from the
blades.
►
Slide blades over the final dilator, and remove the
tissue dilator.
►
Expand the lower arm of the retractor by rotating
the thumb ratchets of the retractor.
►
The blades of the lower retractor may be flared
using the retractor rotator arms (ME380R). Insert
the rotator arms into the retractor and rotate the
arms inwards to flare blades.
Mini-open frame disassembles
or jams due to unsecured
blades!
WARNING
►
►
Damage to the surrounding
muscle and soft tissues by
retractor blades!
WARNING
►
When placing blades into
the frame arms always fin-
ger-tighten the grub screw
to fix each blade in place
to ensure blades do not pop
out during use.
Do not force blade into the
frame arm as this will
cause it to jam and make it
difficult to remove.
Do not over retract blades.
