Clinical Application
Designed for controlled retraction and levering of bone and adjacent soft tissues during orthopedic procedures. Commonly used in open reduction and internal fixation, small-joint and trauma cases, foot and ankle work, and procedures where a narrow, firm blade is needed to expose cortical bone, create working space, or elevate periosteum while protecting surrounding soft tissue.
Design & Configuration
The Hohmann geometry features a flat, beaked working blade that concentrates retraction force on a small footprint for precise exposure. A 15 mm working blade provides a narrow profile useful in confined operative fields; the 16 cm overall length gives adequate reach and leverage while remaining hand-manageable for controlled prying or sustained manual retraction. The blade shape and edge radiusing help seat against bone while minimizing soft-tissue trauma during manipulation.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Retractor (Hohmann pattern)
- Working blade width: 15 mm
- Overall length: 16 cm
- Tip pattern: Beaked, flat blade for levering and localized exposure
- Primary use: Orthopedic bone and soft-tissue retraction
- Material: Surgical stainless steel

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization. Solid metal construction provides the rigidity required for levering and controlled retraction; finishes are selected to reduce tissue adhesion and facilitate cleaning. The instrument is intended for routine high-level disinfection and steam autoclave sterilization as part of standard reprocessing workflows.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
