Clinical Application
A compact, long-reach lever used to elevate bone, manipulate fragments and retract soft tissue in orthopedic and trauma procedures. Commonly employed during open reductions, exposure of joint surfaces, femoral head manipulation, and implant placement where controlled levering and a narrow working footprint are required. The instrument provides tactile feedback for precise force application when repositioning bone or holding reduced fragments for fixation.
Design & Configuration
The Hohmann-style geometry combines a long shaft with a flat, tapered blade tip to deliver mechanical advantage and reach into deeper surgical sites while minimizing soft-tissue obstruction. The blade's broad contact surface distributes levering forces to reduce concentrated pressure on bone, and the handheld configuration gives the operator direct control for incremental adjustments. At 29 cm overall length, this lever balances reach and manual control for both superficial and deeper exposures.
