Clinical Application
This lever is a standard orthopedic retractor used to apply controlled leverage to bone, elevate periosteum, pull or hold soft tissue away from the operative field, and expose joint surfaces during procedures such as hip and knee arthroplasty, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and trauma cases. Its broad blade is designed to distribute pressure across bone or soft tissue to reduce point loading while providing reliable purchase for manipulation and exposure.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's angled shaft provides mechanical advantage and hand clearance, allowing the surgeon to exert leverage without obstructing the surgical field. A 70 mm wide, flat spatulate blade offers a broad contact surface that reduces tissue or bone indentation compared with narrow hooks, which is especially useful when elevating periosteum or protecting soft tissue. The 245 mm overall length gives additional reach for deeper exposures while retaining tactile control at the blade tip.
