These specialized 12 1/2" double-prong acetabular retractors are designed to optimize pelvic cavity visibility during complex total hip arthroplasty. Forged from high-grade German stainless steel, they feature a modified dual-prong tip that anchors securely over the acetabular rim to clear dense gluteal muscle walls. They provide surgical teams with an unyielding mechanical lever that keeps the surgical field perfectly open for precise socket reaming.
Acetabular Retractor 12 1/2" features a streamlined 32mm narrow blade, optimized for precise pelvic exposure in thinner patient profiles or tight joint spaces. Forged from German steel, its dual-tip configuration ensures stable, slip-free bone anchoring while minimizing soft tissue tension.
Acetabular Retractor Standard featuring a broad 44mm blade width, this heavy-duty 12 1/2-inch retractor is built for maximal tissue containment across large, dense muscle bodies. Its robust German-forged design delivers superior mechanical torque, keeping the operative field completely clear during standard hip reconstructions.

Designed to meet the challenging biomechanical demands of open and revision hip reconstructions, the Acetabular Retractor Modified Double Prong 12 1/2" provides absolute stability where standard single-point retractors might slip. The modified double-prong tip spans across the bony margins of the ischium or pubis, creating a balanced, dual-point anchor that resists rotational torque. Combined with an extended, ergonomically counterbalanced handle, it allows surgical assistants to easily lever back massive musculature and capsular sheets from outside the direct operative field, thereby preventing soft-tissue tearing and protecting vital neurovascular structures.
Key Features:
• Modified Dual-Prong Tip: Provides a balanced, two-point mechanical anchor on the pelvic cortex to eliminate intraoperative slipping.
• Extended 12 1/2-Inch Frame: Keeps hands and handles clear of the primary wound site to maximize clear line-of-sight visibility.
• Broad Retraction Blades: Available in narrow and standard configurations to match varying muscle mass densities and patient builds.
• German Stainless Steel: Forged for extreme structural rigidity and lifetime autoclave durability.
Uses & Applications:
• Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA): Safely lever back the posterior capsule and gluteus maximus to expose the acetabular fossa.
• Acetabular Reconstruction: Provides a wide, rock-solid field of view for fixing, reinforcing mesh, or structural bone grafts.
• Pelvic Fracture Fixation: Deflects deep soft tissue layers safely away from unstable fracture margins during plate attachment.
Acetabular retractor is a broadly used surgery instrument in orthopedic surgeries. It boasts a curved handle to ensure a convenient and stable grip. In addition, this instrument is used in direct anterior hip arthroplasty as well as total hip replacement. It is composed of German stainless to become reusable after steam sterilization.
