Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor

The Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 3.25″ (8.3 cm), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomically contoured handle designed for heavy counter-traction leverage, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 10″ (25.4 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.

The Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor is used in total hip arthroplasty to retract soft tissue and capsules laterally away from the anterolateral border of the acetabulum, providing complete exposure for reaming and component seating.

It is indicated for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) via anterolateral or direct anterior approaches, revision hip reconstruction, and acetabular fracture repair.

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-reflective satin matte finish that eliminates glare under surgical overhead lights.

Yes. The entire Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Because this is a solid, one-piece forged retractor, it is sold as a standalone unit. Surgical centers can order multiple units as open-stock inventory to equip hip surgical sets.

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade depths, modified tip curvatures, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
