Feedback, Experience with Subtilis Instruments on Patients:

  • Due to the rounded design without sharp edges of the Soft Tissue Levers, excellent tissue protection is ensured
  • Significantly reduced muscle traumatization. Less soft tissue damage from retractor pressure
  • Rounded Hohmann retractors available in small sizes
  • Visually very appealing and very handy
  • Well-adapted in size, especially important when used in children and adolescents, as there is a wide range of size variations here
  • Used in the pelvic area for ages 2 to 16 years; weight from 10 kg to 100 kg and more
