Femoral Calcar Retractor 14 1/2" Blade Width 25mm

SKU: G32-505
Availability: In Stock

Femoral Calcar Retractor 14 1/2" Blade Width 25mm is essential for procedures involving the femoral calcar, particularly during total hip arthroplasty. It offers precise retraction of soft tissues surrounding the femur to help in the exposure and preparation of the femoral bone. This retractor is ideal for minimizing trauma to soft tissues and preserving the calcar during femoral component placement.

$404.94

This retractor’s curved blade and blunt prongs are manufactured to offer effective retraction, particularly around the femoral calcar. Its structure provides optimal access to the femoral head and neck, enabling better visibility for accurate component alignment during surgery.
Key Benefits
•    Tissue Protection: Blunt tip and smooth blade ensure minimal damage to soft tissue structures during retraction.
•    Optimal Access: The specific curvature of the blade facilitates access to the femoral calcar, enhancing precision in surgical procedures.
•    Durability: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this instrument ensures longevity.

Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

During total hip replacement, the surgeon inserts the femoral calcar retractor around the femoral neck to gently push soft tissues and muscles out of the way. This gives a clear, unobstructed view of the calcar region, which is the dense bone at the inner base of the femoral neck. It helps the surgical team work accurately while protecting surrounding tissue from accidental damage.

The 25mm blade width strikes a practical balance, making it versatile enough for most adult patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. It provides enough surface coverage to retract tissue effectively without being too bulky for tighter anatomical spaces. Surgeons find this width works well across a range of body types, though patient anatomy always guides the final instrument selection.

This retractor is typically crafted from high-grade stainless steel, which makes it strong, corrosion-resistant, and built to handle repeated sterilization cycles without losing its shape. The solid construction ensures the blade maintains its rigidity under the mechanical stress of retracting dense hip tissue. With proper care, it delivers long-lasting, reliable performance across many surgical procedures.

The 14½-inch length gives surgeons greater reach and better leverage, especially when working deep within the hip joint or managing patients with more tissue depth. It allows the surgical team to maintain a firm, controlled hold without having to reposition frequently during the procedure. This added length also improves ergonomics, reducing hand fatigue during longer operations.

Clean it thoroughly with mild detergent and warm water to remove blood and tissue. Then, follow standard autoclave sterilization to ensure it is completely safe for surgery. Proper cleaning prevents infection and keeps the instrument in good condition.
