Hohmann Bone Lever 33x276mm

Clinical Application

A Hohmann bone lever is a standard orthopedic levering and retraction instrument used to elevate cortical bone edges, retract periosteum and soft tissue, and expose bone surfaces during procedures such as total joint arthroplasty, open fracture fixation, osteotomy and other reconstructive surgeries. The 33 x 276 mm geometry provides a balance between contact area and reach, making it suitable for both superficial and deeper exposures where controlled levering is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s spatulated, flat blade with a tapered tip is designed to engage the cortical margin with minimal slipping while distributing load across a broader surface to reduce focal stress on bone. The overall length gives the surgeon extended reach into deeper surgical fields without excessive hand intrusion into the wound. The classic Hohmann shape allows secure manual control for gradual elevation and temporary retraction; the flat profile also facilitates insertion beneath soft tissue planes and periosteum for atraumatic mobilization.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Hohmann bone lever
• Pattern / model: Hohmann
• Configuration: Spatulated flat blade with tapered tip (classic Hohmann geometry)
• Blade width: 33 mm
• Overall length: 276 mm
• Typical use: Elevation and retraction of bone and periosteum in orthopedic procedures
• Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel; reusable and sterilizable

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is designed for repeated use and standard sterilization cycles. The flat, forged blade provides stiffness required for levering while the finished surfaces reduce tissue adhesion and facilitate cleaning. The construction balances durability with the tactile feedback surgeons expect when applying controlled levering forces.

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.
