‘Form follows function’ is a general guideline of FEHLING INSTRUMENTS. It governs the development of both surgical instruments and implants.
Examples:
POLYTEL and RAABE titanium retracting systems for dorsal approaches to the spine both outstanding in function and versatility.
THOREXPO retractor system for the upper abdomen and – combined with the VENTREXPO retractor system for the entire abdomen area.
The family of CONCEPT, TRADITION and GENTLE punches for spinal surgery completed by GRUMME and RICHTER disk rongeurs.
FORMAR and FENESTRA cervical spine disk replacements (cages) with bio-mechanically and physiologically improved geometry.
ICS retractor system and a complete range of MICS tube-shafted instruments for left and right intracostal approach, transapical approach and mini-thoracotomy.
Full range of pediatric cardiovascular instruments particularly including retractors, micro-instruments, shape memory probes, spatulae and sizers.
These examples represent a large number of R&D projects which offer major advantages for both surgeons and administrators: Enhanced quality and safety of surgical procedures:
Higher quality of work and safety
Reduced surgical working time
Reduced personnel expenses
Reduced risk of instrument induced claims for damages
