Clinical Application
Designed for orthopedic procedures where controlled levering and focal retraction are required. The narrow 8 mm blade and 236 mm overall length facilitate exposure of cortical surfaces and working in deep or constrained surgical windows — common in trauma, small-bone, foot & ankle, hand, and joint procedures. Used to elevate periosteum, lever fragments during reduction, and maintain soft-tissue retraction adjacent to bony surfaces.
Design & Configuration
The Hohmann geometry combines a tapered, narrow blade with a longer shaft to provide mechanical advantage without an excessive footprint on bone. The 8 mm blade profile allows precise placement between bone and soft tissue, minimizing iatrogenic soft-tissue compression while permitting controlled levering force. The 236 mm length gives reach for deeper exposures and comfortable handling by the assistant or surgeon.
