Blount Knee Retractor 17.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction and exposure of knee anatomy during orthopedic procedures. Commonly used to retract soft tissue and deliver improved visualization of the patella, joint capsule, and medial/lateral gutters during total knee arthroplasty, open arthrotomy, meniscal repair, and other knee procedures where a low-profile retractor is required.

Design & Configuration

The Blount pattern provides a compact working profile to access confined joint spaces without excessive bulk. The 17.5 cm length balances reach and control—long enough to engage deeper recesses of the joint while short enough for precise, one-handed manipulation at the surgical field. A flat, blunt blade spreads load across soft tissue to reduce point pressure and facilitate atraumatic retraction.
