Stulberg Incision Close Gelpi & Blade Set

The Stulberg Incision Close Gelpi & Blade Set is a specialized surgical instrument combination consisting of a Gelpi retractor and blade. The components are designed to work as part of an incision-closing and retraction configuration for compatible surgical applications.

The components are available individually as well as in the complete set configuration.

Gelpi Retractor

The Gelpi component measures 7.5 inches (19.1 cm) overall and has a maximum spread width of 3.625 inches (9.2 cm).

Its self-retaining configuration provides a defined spreading range for compatible surgical retraction applications.

Blade

The blade measures 5.5 inches (14 cm) overall, with a 1-inch (2.54 cm) blade width. Its blade depth from the bend is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), and the blade has a 130° bend-back angle.

Complete Set Configuration

The complete configuration combines the Gelpi retractor and blade into one set. The components can also be selected individually according to the requirements of the intended application.

Design and Configuration

The system consists of two primary components:

• Gelpi: 7.5" (19.1 cm) overall length, 3.625" (9.2 cm) maximum spread width
• Blade: 5.5" (14 cm) overall length, 1" (2.54 cm) width, 1.5" (3.8 cm) depth from bend, 130° bend-back angle

Working Characteristics

The Gelpi provides a self-retaining spreading configuration, while the blade incorporates a defined 130° bend-back angle and 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) depth from the bend.

The combination provides complementary working characteristics for compatible incision-closing and retraction applications.

Surgical Applications

The Stulberg Incision Close Gelpi & Blade Set is designed for compatible surgical applications involving incision management and tissue retraction. Selection should be based on the specific procedure, required working dimensions, and the judgment of the qualified surgical professional.

Handling and Use Considerations

The Gelpi and blade may be selected individually or together as a set. Consider the maximum spread width, blade width, blade depth, and bend-back angle when selecting the appropriate configuration.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the components should be cleaned and processed according to established healthcare-facility protocols for surgical instruments. The Gelpi joints, prongs, blade surfaces, bend area, and connecting features should be inspected for retained material, deformation, or damage.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before use, each component should be inspected for cleanliness, structural integrity, and proper working condition. Sterilization should follow applicable institutional procedures and validated instrument-processing requirements.
