Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor

SKU:RM-AFCR-1

$99.00USD

The Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor is a specialized knee arthroplasty instrument designed to provide unobstructed visualization of the distal femoral condyles. Featuring a 5″ (12.7 cm) length, a 45 mm angled fenestrated blade, and a distinct serrated surface, it ensures secure, slip-resistant tissue retraction during total knee replacement.

Product Description

The Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor is a precision orthopedic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide optimal anterior exposure of the distal femur during primary and revision knee arthroplasty. By anchoring firmly against the anterior cortex, this instrument displaces quadriceps muscle tissue and the extensor mechanism without placing excessive stress on surrounding ligaments.

Designed for superior intraoperative ergonomics, this Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor configuration features a 5-inch (12.7 cm) overall length and a 45 mm wide working end. The blade incorporates an angled, fenestrated geometry that reduces overall instrument weight to minimize assistant hand fatigue during lengthy joint reconstructions. Distinct cross-serrations across the blade tip provide enhanced tissue traction, preventing the retractor from slipping off the bony femoral condyle under counter-tension.

Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin finish, Retractor Maker produces the Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor to withstand high mechanical leverage and repetitive hospital steam autoclaving cycles, giving joint reconstruction teams reliable durability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor?

The Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Angled, fenestrated design to reduce weight and fatigue, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 5″ (12.7 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor used for?

The Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor is used in total knee replacement surgery to retract the anterior soft tissues and quadriceps tendon, providing clear, unobstructed visualization of the distal femoral condyles for bone resections.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), revision knee arthroplasty, distal femoral fracture fixation, and patellofemoral joint reconstruction.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical glare under bright surgical operating lamps.

Is the Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Anterior Femoral Condylar Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The fenestrated blade slots should be cleaned thoroughly with an ultrasonic bath.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is a solid, one-piece forged retractor, it is sold as a standalone instrument. Hospitals can order multiple units as open-stock inventory to equip joint replacement trays.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered fenestration patterns, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.

What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?

In-stock orders take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
