Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled leverage and soft-tissue retraction in orthopaedic procedures, this Hohmann bone lever is used to elevate bone fragments, retract periosteum and soft tissues, and assist in exposure of joint surfaces. Common applications include hip and knee arthroplasty, open reduction of fractures, femoral and tibial exposure, and general osseous manipulation where a reliable flat-bladed lever is required. The hooked tip allows secure engagement of cortical surfaces to transmit mechanical force without the need for a separate traction point.
Design & Configuration
The angled shaft and 27 cm length provide reach into deeper surgical fields while maintaining mechanical advantage and tactile control. The broad, flat blade with a lip/hook distributes contact pressure across the cortical surface to reduce point-loading and slipping. The single-ended Hohmann geometry allows the surgeon to insert the blade under a cortical edge or along a periosteal plane and apply levering force precisely; the length helps keep the assistant’s hands clear of the wound. These design elements combine to give predictable purchase and controlled elevation during reduction and exposure maneuvers.

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance, rigidity and long-term durability in repeated sterilization cycles. The robust blade geometry resists bending under directional load and is suitable for routine manual cleaning, high-level disinfection and steam sterilization. Reusable construction supports cost-effective inventory management in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
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.
