The Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is an orthopedic extremity retractor engineered for distal biceps tendon repair. Featuring an anatomically contoured 16 mm distal blade, narrow curved handles, and selectable lengths of 6.375″ or 7.5″, it maintains clear exposure of the radial tuberosity while protecting neurovascular bundles.

Product Description

The Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is a specialized orthopedic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide hands-free operative access during distal biceps tendon reattachment procedures. Designed to work within confined antecubital incisions, this instrument holds back skin and soft tissue while shielding the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve and radial nerve branches.

Built for refined upper extremity ergonomics, the Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is manufactured in two selectable lengths: 6.375 inches ($299) and 7.5 inches ($319). Its 16 mm wide anatomically contoured distal blade provides focused, localized exposure over the radial tuberosity without crushing surrounding tissue. The narrow, curved handle design arches away from the surgical field, maximizing the working window for drilling, suture anchor placement, and cortical button fixation.

Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing orthopedic sports medicine and upper extremity surgeons with dependable holding stability and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor?

The Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 16 mm anatomically contoured blade, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is narrow, curved handle profile designed to clear the operative corridor, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 6.375″ (16.19 cm) ($299.00) and 7.5″ (19.05 cm) ($319.00) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor used for?

The Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is used in orthopedic upper extremity surgery to retract soft tissue in the antecubital fossa, exposing the radial tuberosity for anatomical tendon reinsertion.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for primary and revision distal biceps tendon repairs (single-incision or two-incision techniques), proximal radius fracture fixation, and anterior elbow joint debridement.

What material and finish are used?

The retractor is fabricated from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical glare under surgical operating lights.

Is the Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Beard Distal Bicep Self-Retaining Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and box joints should be lubricated periodically.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is an integrated self-retaining instrument, each length is sold as a standalone unit. Orthopedic departments can order both lengths as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered handle curvatures, 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.
