Product Overview
APC Hip Retractors Series 14" is an orthopedic surgical instrument used to expose deep joint margins. Available in multiple variations, its contoured curved blade and pronged tip anchor against acetabular edges, while modular weight fenestrations help hold large muscle masses back without ongoing manual traction.
Key Features:
• German stainless steel construction resists corrosion and tolerates repeated autoclave cycles.
• Contoured, broad curved blade retracts heavy thigh musculature away from the joint capsule.
• Pronged tip profile anchors securely over anterior or posterior acetabular bone margins.
• Handle fenestration allows attachment of modular weights for self-retaining retraction.
Uses & Applications:
• Exposes the acetabular rim and socket during total hip arthroplasty (THA).
• Retracts the gluteal and femoral muscle mass during posterior and lateral hip approaches.
• Maintains deep wound visibility in hip revision surgeries and pelvic fracture repairs.
