What GerMedUSA Will Offer
At the ACFAS conference, we will showcase an extensive selection of foot and ankle tools. Here are a few of our German stainless instruments you can find at our exhibition booth.
Ludloff/Mau Osteotomy Fixation Clamp 5″
The Ludloff/Mau Osteotomy Fixation Clamp is specially designed to assist surgeons in stabilizing osteotomies (bone cuts) during foot and ankle surgery. It is helpful in bunion correction surgeries, osteoarticular reconstructions, and fracture repairs. The sturdy design of the clamp ensures secure bone fixation. The ratchet mechanism helps keep the instrument in place during prolonged procedures. In addition, it is easy to handle during the procedure.
Small Joint Compressor
This German-forged compressor is designed to apply controlled pressure to small joints in the foot and ankle, such as the tarsometatarsal or interphalangeal joints. It is helpful in joint reductions, cartilage repairs, and arthrodesis procedures. The smooth, rounded pads distribute pressure evenly across the joint surface. We offer this joint compressor with both single and double-hole designs in 4.5″ and 4.62″ sizes to fit various joint sizes.
Gap Clamp for Cortical Button Distal Bicep Repair 8″
This clamp is specifically designed to assist foot and ankle surgeons in distal bicep tendon repairs using cortical buttons. The gaps on both blades of the clamp ensure that the buttons are secured efficiently. The locking mechanism maintains the pressure throughout the repair process. In addition, the finger ring handle ensures comfortable and controlled application. Moreover, German stainless makes the instrument sterilizable for reuse.
Phalangeal Forceps 6″
We have explicitly designed these forceps for grasping and manipulating bones and soft tissues during foot and ankle surgery, particularly in procedures involving the toes and phalanges. The broad serrated jaws with toothed, angled tips ensure a secure grip without crushing the tissue. In addition, these German-forged forceps are easy to handle and enhance control during the procedure.
Forearm Swivel Blade Retractor
We have ideally manufactured our Forearm Swivel Blade Retractor to maximize exposure during forearm and wrist surgeries, particularly for fractures. The swiveling blades with 5x5 prongs rotate to conform to anatomical curvatures and reduce stress on soft tissues. Moreover, the finger ring ratchet handle provides the surgeon with comfort and control during prolonged procedures. We also offer this product in Forearm Swivel Blade Retractor Set 5.12″.
T-Handle Retractors
The T-Handle Retractors are specially designed for retracting soft tissues and providing broad exposure during foot and ankle surgery. The T-handle design provides excellent grip and leverage for precise retraction control. In addition, the angled working end enhances visibility and access to deeper anatomical areas. We offer these retractors with both blunt and sharp rake options to accommodate different tissue types and anatomical variations.
Arthrodesis Retractor
Our Arthrodesis Retractor provides optimal exposure during arthrodesis procedures in foot and ankle joints. The U-shaped working end with fenestrated design ensures retracting soft tissues while protecting surrounding nerves and vessels. We offer this German stainless retractor in multiple sizes for metatarsal, phalangeal, and general arthrodesis needs. For surgeons’ convenience, it’s also available in a set of two.
Metatarsal Clamp
Our Metatarsal Clamp is designed to assist in stabilizing fractures or osteotomies of the metatarsal bones. It is available in small, medium, and large sizes to accommodate different anatomical variations. The one solid, broad, and other square design working end ensures a secure grip on the fractures. In addition, the adjustable ratchet mechanism allows for fine-tuning of the fixation. The multiple variations accommodate surgeons' requirements during different procedures.
GerMedUSA K-Wire/Pin Insertion Guide 2″
Our Metatarsal Clamp is designed to assist in stabilizing fractures or osteotomies of the metatarsal bones. It is available in small, medium, and large sizes to accommodate different anatomical variations. The one solid, broad, and other square design working end ensures a secure grip on the fractures. In addition, the adjustable ratchet mechanism allows for fine-tuning of the fixation. The multiple variations accommodate surgeons' requirements during different procedures.
Disarticulator 14.5cm Long
The 14.5cm disarticulator is specially designed to disarticulate bones, particularly in foot and ankle procedures. The V-shaped, slightly raised blade can be used in a variety of foot and ankle surgeries, including bunionectomy, hammertoe repairs, and ankle fusions. Its fenestrated design makes it lightweight and easy to handle. Moreover, it’s crafted from medical-grade German stainless for added durability.
Bone Holding Clamp 6″ With Measuring Caliper
This is a special clamp for efficiently grasping and holding bone fragments during various surgical procedures, particularly in foot and ankle surgeries. The integrated measuring caliper of the clamp allows for accurate measurement of bone fragments for reduction and fixation purposes. The 6-inch length provides a good balance between handling and reach. We have manufactured this clamp from German stainless for durability and corrosion resistance.
Meniscectomy Knife 6 1/2" Right
We have explicitly designed Meniscectomy Knife Right 65mm, 6 ¾″ to assist surgeons in removing or trimming menisci, the C-shaped fibrocartilage pads in the knee joint. The 6 ¾″ size of the instrument makes it ideal for cutting menisci efficiently. The T-shaped handle with a tetragonal shank provides enhanced control during the procedure. We also offer Meniscectomy Knife 65mm, 6 ¾″ in straight design.
Mini Hohman Retractor 6 3/4" With Narrow Tip 5mm Broad Blade
The German stainless Mini Hohman blade is ideal for elevating and retracting soft tissues during foot and ankle surgeries. It features a broad, blunt blade with a narrow tip to ensure the retraction procedure is more efficient. The 5mm blade width is ideal for delicate procedures. In addition, the Mini Hohman Broad Blade can be sterilized easily for reuse.
Lewin Bone Forceps 7″ Slightly Curved Serrated Jaws
The Lewin Bone Forceps are our specially designed instruments for grasping and manipulating bone fragments during various surgical procedures, such as orthopedics and trauma surgery. It’s also helpful to hold bone fragments in place for reduction and fixation and retract soft tissues to expose the bone.
The 7-inch length of the forceps provides good reach and leverage for the surgeon. Moreover, their slightly curved jaws conform to the natural curvature of bone, improving grip and preventing slippage. Plus, the serrated jaws enhance grip and prevent tissue tearing. German stainless makes these forceps sterilizable for reuse.
