Collateral Ligament Retractors

The Collateral Ligament Retractors is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Features integrated 5 mm and 11 mm blade width profiles, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with grip serrations for fatigue-free manual hold, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 8″ (20.3 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.

Collateral Ligament Retractors are used in knee arthroplasty to retract and shield the medial and lateral collateral ligaments from oscillating saw blades during proximal tibial and distal femoral cuts.

They are indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), revision knee reconstruction, and high tibial osteotomy.

The instruments are forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
