Inspection
Inspect each instrument before and after use
to detect imperfections. Do not use damaged
instruments; send them for repair or replacement.
WARNINGS
The retractor system can exert a great amount
of force on the wound edges and on tissues.
Release the retractor for short periods of time or shift
the blades to relieve the pressure on any one point.

If the table is to be tilted toward the side holding
the post, it is important to place adequate padding
between the table post and the patient. Pressure
necrosis or a nerve palsy could result if the patient is
pressed against the unpadded bar for a long period.
Precautions
As with any self-retaining retractor, caution should
be taken not to exert undue retraction pressure
on the iliopsoas muscle to prevent possible femoral
nerve palsy.
If using monopolar electrosurgical equipment while
using the BOOKWAL
TER Retractor Kit II, consult
®
the basic rules of usage concerning electrosurgery
(see EN 60 601-2-2), as well as the manufacturer's
instructions for use regarding specific warnings
and conditions.
Be sure to electrically isolate the patient from (high
frequency leakage currents to) the operating table,
in accordance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the electrosurgical equipment.
Ensure that the patient does not come into contact
with metal parts that are earthed or that have
an appreciable capacitance to earth (for example:
operating table, supports), in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
electrosurgical equipment.
Avoid small-area contacts with objects having
a low impedance to earth at high frequencies,
as unwanted burns may result.
Instructions for Use
Attaching the Vertical Table Post
NOTE: Be sure the operating table side rail does not
have excess material draped over it. The clamp of
the vertical table post is designed to hold no more
than two double thicknesses of cotton drapes.
Pull out the recessed lever located at the top of the
vertical post (Figures 2 and 3) and fully open the rail
clamp by turning the lever counterclockwise. Attach
the clamp over the drapes as shown in Figure 4.
Retighten the clamp to secure the post by turning
the lever clockwise (Figure 5).
WARNING: If the table is to be tilted toward the
side holding the post, it is important to place
adequate padding between the table post and
the patient. Pressure necrosis or a nerve palsy
could result if the patient is pressed against the
unpadded bar for a long period.
