Smillie Meniscus Retractor right ang. 52x13mm, 14.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled retraction of the meniscus and adjacent capsular tissue during knee procedures such as meniscal repair, meniscectomy, or limited open approaches. The right-angled orientation facilitates visualization and access to the posterior and peripheral meniscal zones while minimizing interference with the working field.

Design & Configuration

The right-angled shaft positions the meniscal blade parallel to the joint surface, allowing the surgeon to retract radially oriented meniscal tissue without excessive leverage on the capsule. The 52x13 mm meniscus-shaped blade distributes pressure across the meniscal rim to reduce focal trauma during exposure. At 14.5 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach into the joint recess with tactile control at the handle to aid precise tissue manipulation in confined knee exposures.
