Product Overview
This long-profile orthopedic retractor facilitates superior surgical visualization during total hip arthroplasties, hip revisions, and proximal femoral fracture fixations. The specialized blade geometry is optimized to safely cradle and leverage the gluteus medius and minimus muscle envelopes, protecting the soft tissue wall from localized tearing under high tension. Featuring a 20mm blade width on an elongated 11.75" frame, this instrument provides assistants with excellent physical leverage to maintain a stable, non-slip hold while keeping hands completely clear of the active field.
Key Features:
• Optimized blade geometry designed to securely cradle the gluteus medius and minimus muscle groups
• Focused 20mm blade width maximizing surface contact to prevent tissue slipping under tension
• Elongated 11.75" frame providing superior physical leverage while keeping hands out of the active field
• Forged from premium German stainless steel, making it fully reusable after sterilization
Uses & Applications:
• Retracting the gluteus medius and minimus muscles to fully expose the hip joint capsule
• Maintaining stable, deep-cavity visualization around the proximal femur during fracture plating
• Displacing thick soft tissue walls safely away from critical paths during complex hip reconstructions
Optimize your deep-exposure joint and hip workflows with the highly adaptable Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor today!
