Clinical Application
Provides controlled levering and retraction of bone and adjacent soft tissues during orthopedic procedures. The Hohmann-style blade is used to elevate cortical bone, retract periosteum and soft tissue, and maintain exposure during joint arthroplasty, open fracture reduction, hip procedures and other trauma or reconstructive cases where sustained retraction and mechanical purchase on bone are required. The 29 cm length increases reach for deeper exposures and helps maintain a safe working corridor for instrumentation and visualization.
Design & Configuration
The Hohmann blade geometry delivers a thin, tapered profile that slips between bone and soft tissue to establish purchase with minimal additional tissue bulk. The straight shaft and extended length provide mechanical advantage for levering and sustained retraction, reducing the need for excessive force by the assistant. A defined hand-hold and shaft length permit secure control and directional leverage while keeping the surgeon's hand clear of the field. The blade profile is optimized for firm contact against cortical surfaces while minimizing soft tissue entrapment.
