Bristow Bone Lever 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in shoulder-stabilization procedures such as the Bristow or Latarjet, this bone lever provides controlled elevation and mobilization of the coracoid process and associated bone grafts. It is also useful in broader orthopedic applications for levering and repositioning small bone fragments, facilitating exposure, and assisting in bone graft placement where precise, low-profile force application is required. Typical users include orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons working in hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers.

Design & Configuration

The 23 cm working length gives the instrument sufficient reach into the shoulder joint and deep operative fields while maintaining tactile control. The rigid shaft transmits mechanical advantage from the handle to the tip, allowing controlled levering without excessive hand strain. A broad, blunt lever tip distributes contact force across bone surfaces to reduce the risk of point-loading and iatrogenic gouging during manipulation or graft positioning.
