Knee Retractor 38x9mm, 22.5cm

Clinical Application

This retractor is designed for precise exposure and soft-tissue management around the knee joint. Its slim blade footprint allows controlled retraction of capsule margins, synovium, meniscal edges and small soft-tissue flaps during arthrotomy, limited open procedures, meniscal repair and other periarticular interventions where a low-profile, focused retraction is required. The reach provided by the shaft length facilitates access to deeper joint surfaces without excessive hand intrusion.

Design & Configuration

The slim, rectangular 38 x 9 mm blade provides a narrow contact area that minimizes obstruction of the operative field while distributing retraction force along a modest surface to reduce point pressure on tissues. The 22.5 cm overall length gives adequate working reach for most knee procedures, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain exposure from a comfortable distance. The rigid, handheld configuration provides tactile feedback and stable soft-tissue control for precise adjustments during dissection, suture placement and component exposure.
