Product Overview
Engineered specifically for the demanding biomechanics of open shoulder surgery, including total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder procedures, these retractors optimize visualization in deep articular spaces. Their elongated frames allow surgical assistants to maintain steady leverage from outside the primary operative field. At the same time, the curved blades anchor securely against the anterior or posterior margin of the glenoid neck. This targeted mechanical leverage safely holds back the deltoid, subscapularis, or rotator cuff remnants, protecting vital neurovascular structures from accidental instrument trauma.
Key Features:
• Anatomically Specific Curves: Designed in distinct anterior and posterior profiles to match shoulder joint geometry.
• Extended Reach Shafts: Provides maximum visibility by keeping hands and handles clear of the surgical site.
• Atraumatic Beveled Blades: Broad surface areas distribute levering forces evenly to minimize muscle bruising or tearing.
• German Stainless Steel: Forged for extreme structural rigidity and lifetime autoclave durability.
Uses & Applications:
• Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Exposes the glenoid surface fully for precise reaming and component fixation.
• Bankart & Bristow Repairs: Safely retracts anterior soft tissues to allow clear access to the glenoid rim.
• Scapular Fracture Fixation: Leverages heavy muscle groups away to reveal posterior scapular neck fractures.
