Footplate Instrument as Heermann Fig.2, 7cm

Clinical Application

This compact footplate is intended to facilitate precise elevation, protection and controlled retraction of delicate tissues during microsurgical and soft-tissue procedures. Its small footprint and 7 cm overall length make it well suited to confined operative fields—commonly used in ophthalmic and ENT microsurgery as well as plastic, maxillofacial and other procedures that demand atraumatic blunt dissection, sub‑flap support, or placement/positioning of small grafts and implants.

Design & Configuration

The footplate geometry provides a low-profile, broad contact surface that distributes pressure across tissue and reduces point loading during elevation or retraction. The short 7 cm length increases fingertip control and tactile feedback for fine manipulations. A smooth, atraumatic leading edge supports blunt dissection while shielding underlying structures during undermining or implant delivery.
