Knee Retractor 56x10mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for targeted retraction of soft tissues and exposure of the knee joint during orthopedic procedures. The narrow 10 mm blade profile with a 56 mm blade footprint provides focused retraction for joint-line visualization, patellar and capsular management, and small-cavity access in open knee procedures, revision work, and select arthrotomy exposures. The 17 cm overall length offers reach into deeper operative fields while allowing the assistant or primary surgeon to maintain a stable line of sight.

Design & Configuration

The slender blade geometry concentrates retraction force over a limited surface area to allow precise displacement of tissue without requiring a wide footprint. The blade-style, handheld configuration gives the operator tactile control and quick repositioning during dynamic steps of a case. The 17 cm shaft length balances in-field reach with ergonomic control, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged retraction tasks.
