Smillie Meniscus Retractor angled 32x19mm, 14.5cm

Clinical Application

This angled meniscus retractor is designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of meniscal tissue and soft tissue during knee procedures. It is commonly used in open or mini-open meniscectomy and meniscal repair to expose tear margins, protect surrounding cartilage, and create working space for suture passage or debridement. The instrument’s compact blade profile is suited to confined joint exposures and posterior horn access where visibility and tissue control are critical.

Design & Configuration

The angled shaft geometry permits the blade to engage meniscal tissue while keeping the handle clear of the surgical field, improving line of sight and instrument ergonomics for the surgeon. The 32 x 19 mm blade offers a balance between surface area for broad tissue support and a slim profile for insertion into tight joint spaces. The 14.5 cm overall length provides adequate reach and tactile control for precise retraction in standard knee exposures.
