Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of the scapula and adjacent soft tissues during open shoulder and periscapular procedures. The broad 75x90 mm blade footprint is intended to distribute retraction forces across a larger surface area, improving visualization of the scapular body, neck and glenoid while reducing focal pressure on soft tissues. Common uses include posterior and lateral approaches for fracture fixation, scapular body exposure, and soft-tissue repair around the shoulder girdle.
Design & Configuration
The broad, flat blade geometry offers a wide contact surface to hold soft tissue and bone edges securely without concentrated pressure points. A 16 cm overall length balances reach and control—long enough to maintain exposure in moderate-depth wounds while allowing the assistant or surgeon to manage retraction with fine control. The Davidson pattern is optimized to provide stable retraction and a low-profile footprint in the operative field so that instrument interference with visualization and other instruments is minimized.
