Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

Patella retractors are most commonly used in total knee replacement, open knee revision surgeries, and tibial plateau fracture repairs where the kneecap needs to be displaced for adequate joint exposure. They are open surgery instruments and are not used in arthroscopic procedures.

Surgeons select the size based on the patient’s knee anatomy and the type of surgery. The blade length, pad width, and handle ergonomics all influence comfort and control. Choosing the right size ensures effective exposure without stressing surrounding tissues.

A 22mm pad provides a stable, broad surface that gently supports the patella. It distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of bruising or tissue injury. This width balances strong retraction with patient safety during knee procedures.

First, rinse the instrument immediately to remove blood and debris. Use a surgical-grade detergent, then follow autoclave sterilization or validated cleaning protocols. Proper care prevents corrosion and maintains instrument precision.

The retractor should sit under the patella with the pad fully supporting the bone, avoiding sharp edges on soft tissue. Gentle lifting and careful alignment minimize strain on ligaments and cartilage. Correct placement ensures clear access without injury.
