Clinical Application
This Hohmann bone lever is designed for use in orthopedic procedures requiring controlled elevation and retraction of bone or periosteum. Common applications include total joint arthroplasty, open fracture reduction, exposure of cortical surfaces, and assisting in soft-tissue retraction adjacent to bony anatomy. The 43 mm broad tip distributes contact pressure to reduce point loading on bone during levering.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's Hohmann-style geometry provides a flat, broad levering surface at the tip combined with a long shaft (244 mm) to give mechanical advantage and reach into deeper surgical sites. The wide 43 mm tip is intended to spread force over a larger area, improving purchase on cortical surfaces while reducing tendency to gouge. The straight shaft maintains alignment during levering, allowing controlled upward or lateral displacement of bone fragments or soft tissues as required during exposure and reduction maneuvers.
