Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled leverage for dislocating and manipulating the femoral head during hip procedures. Commonly used in total hip arthroplasty, open reduction of the hip, exposure of the acetabulum, and procedures where deliberate, steady translation or rotation of the femoral head is required to facilitate visualization, component removal, or reduction. The instrument assists surgeons in applying focal force while minimizing soft-tissue entrapment when used with appropriate technique and visualization.
Design & Configuration
The single-piece lever geometry delivers a rigid, tactile instrument for transmitting controlled prying or levering forces. The 26.5 cm overall length balances reach into the operative field with mechanical advantage for controlled manipulation from outside the wound. A tapered distal engagement area allows accurate positioning against the femoral head or neck region while the proximal shaft provides room for secure manual control. The straight, rigid configuration helps avoid unwanted flex while permitting precise directional control during dislocation and reduction maneuvers.
