Distal Radius Wide Hohmann Retractor 5.37" Blade 25mm

SKU: G32-2030
Availability: In Stock

The Distal Radius Wide Hohmann Retractor 5.37" is designed for maximum soft tissue protection and clear bone exposure during wrist reconstructions. Forged from medical-grade German stainless steel, it features a broad 25mm blade that safely lifts muscles and tendons away from the surgical site. It provides an optimal, unobstructed view, making it essential for the plating of distal radius fractures.

Designed to accommodate the precise anatomical contours of the wrist, the Distal Radius Wide Hohmann Retractor 5.37" optimizes bone exposure during complex volar or dorsal plating. The extra-wide 25mm blade safely retracts and protects vital soft tissues, including the pronator quadratus muscle and adjacent tendons, distributing levering pressure evenly to prevent localized ischemia. Its tapered, blunt tip seats securely against the cortical rim of the radius, creating an immovable mechanical lever for the surgical team.

Key Features:

    Wide 25mm Blade: Designed to provide expansive soft tissue protection over a broader surface area.
    5.37-Inch Ergo Handle: Perfectly counterbalanced to provide maximum levering torque with minimal hand fatigue.
    Anatomical Tapered Tip: Seats smoothly against the bone cortex without slipping or stripping periosteum.
    German Steel: Forged for extreme structural rigidity and lifetime autoclave durability.

Uses & Applications:

    Distal Radius Volar Plating: Safely lever flexor tendons and muscles away to expose the radius shaft.
    Wrist Arthrodesis: Provides wide, clear visibility of the carpal-radial joint during fusion procedures.
    Forefoot Reconstruction: Utilized as a broad tissue lever in heavy-duty midfoot and hindfoot surgeries.

Hold the handle firmly with your dominant hand and slide the curved blade gently around the bone, keeping the tip against the cortex to protect soft tissue. Use steady, controlled pressure rather than force to maintain exposure without causing trauma. Always position it so the blade hugs the bone surface, giving your surgical team a clear, stable working field.

The 25mm blade width is specifically designed to match the anatomy of the distal radius, providing just enough coverage to retract surrounding tissue without overcrowding the small surgical space. It gives surgeons optimal visibility while protecting nearby tendons, nerves, and vessels. This targeted width reduces the risk of collateral tissue damage compared to wider general-purpose blades.

Unlike standard Hohmann retractors built for larger joints like the hip or knee, this Beard version is purpose-built for the wrist area, featuring a narrower blade and refined curve that suits the compact distal radius anatomy. The design gives surgeons better control in tight spaces where a standard retractor would feel bulky. It essentially does the same job but with far greater precision for wrist and forearm procedures.

The 5.37" length keeps the surgeon's hand comfortably outside the incision while the blade reaches deep into the wound. It provides the perfect balance between reach and tactile control during distal radius procedures. This means less instrument crowding and smoother, more confident movements throughout the surgery.

Avoid applying too much levering force, as this can crack fragile bone or tear delicate soft tissue around the wrist. Never leave the blade loosely placed without solid bone contact, since it can slip and cause unintended injury. Always confirm the retractor is properly seated before retracting, and briefly release pressure now and then to restore normal blood flow.
