Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

This retractor is most commonly used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), hip resurfacing procedures, and acetabular fracture repairs. Surgeons also rely on it during revision hip surgeries where clear joint exposure is critical. It works especially well in anterolateral and direct anterior approaches to the hip joint.

The anterolateral acetabular rim retractor is designed to hold back soft tissue around the front and side of the acetabulum, giving the surgeon a clear view of the socket. The posterior femoral neck retractor, on the other hand, is shaped and angled to retract tissue near the back of the femoral neck during posterior hip approaches. Each tool is built for a specific anatomical position, so using the right one improves both exposure and patient safety.

An 18mm blade provides stable and wide enough exposure of the acetabular rim without causing excessive tissue pressure. It balances visibility with patient safety. Surgeons can work efficiently while protecting surrounding muscles and vessels.

With proper sterilization, regular inspection, and careful handling, a high-quality stainless steel retractor like this can reliably last many years in a busy surgical setting. Most surgical instruments of this grade are built to withstand hundreds of autoclave cycles without losing structural integrity. Following the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines and avoiding drops or forceful misuse will significantly extend its working life.

Before surgery, inspect the retractor for blade integrity, sharp edges, and handle stability. Ensure it is properly sterilized and free of defects. This prevents complications and ensures smooth, safe acetabular exposure.
