SKU:RM-AARR-1

$49.00USD

The Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor is a heavy-duty orthopedic instrument engineered to provide deep, stable operative exposure of the acetabulum during total hip replacement. Featuring a 10″ (25.4 cm) length, a 3.25″ (8.3 cm) blade depth, and an 18 mm blade width, it ensures secure soft-tissue displacement around the hip socket.

Product Description

The Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor is a dedicated orthopedic surgical retractor engineered to establish clear, stable exposure of the acetabular margin during primary and revision total hip arthroplasty. By anchoring securely over the anterolateral bone rim, this instrument displaces anterior capsular tissues and abductor musculature, ensuring a clear visual corridor into the pelvic socket.

Designed for robust anatomical leverage, this Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor model features an overall length of 10 inches (25.4 cm) with an 18 mm blade width and an extended 3.25-inch (8.3 cm) blade depth profile. The angled distal blade is contoured to hook firmly over the acetabular rim without impinging on surrounding femoral neurovascular structures. Its ergonomic handle allows surgical assistants to apply sustained counter-traction with minimal hand fatigue during socket reaming and cup impaction.

Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a glare-resistant satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor to endure heavy operative leverage, providing orthopedic departments worldwide with superior corrosion resistance and complete autoclave durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the 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.

What is the Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor used for?

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.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

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

What material and finish are used?

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

Is the Anterolateral Acetabular Rim Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

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

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

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.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

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

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

In-stock instruments 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.
