The Blount Knee Retractor is a specialized orthopedic leverage instrument designed to expose the knee joint and collateral ligaments during arthroplasty. Available in multiple lengths (6 ⅞″ to 10 ⅜″) with Narrow Short or Wide blade designs, its contoured pronged beak delivers secure ligamentous retraction.
Product Description
The Blount Knee Retractor is an indispensable orthopedic surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide reliable leverage and soft-tissue exposure around the femoral condyles and tibial plateau during total knee arthroplasty. Designed with an anatomical beak that hooks over bone margins, this instrument allows surgical teams to retract the patellar tendon, collateral ligaments, and capsule without tissue crushing.
Built for variable anatomical depths, the Blount Knee Retractor series offers selectable length configurations including 6 ⅞″ ($64), 7″ ($69), 10 ¼″ ($74), and 10 ⅜″ ($79), with standard production lines accommodating a 6 ⅜″ structural profile. Surgeons can configure the working end with either a Narrow Short Blade (Model variant 14093) for localized access or a Wide Blade (Model variant 14094) for broad tissue displacement. Its contoured handle provides superior counter-traction control while keeping assistant hands away from bone saws.
Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Blount Knee Retractor to withstand high mechanical leverage and repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing orthopedic joint replacement teams with unyielding clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Blount Knee Retractor?
The Blount Knee Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Narrow Short Blade (Variant 14093) or Wide Blade (Variant 14094), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is heavy-duty ergonomic handle designed for sustained leverage counter-traction, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Blount Knee Retractor used for?
The Blount Knee Retractor is used in knee replacement surgery to retract the collateral ligaments and joint capsule away from the distal femur and proximal tibia, maintaining clear exposure for bone cuts and trial seating.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), revision knee reconstruction, distal femoral osteotomy, and high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Is the Blount Knee Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Blount Knee 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, each length and blade variant is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both Narrow and Wide blade models to complete their knee sets.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom beak curves, modified handle angles, 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.
