Direct Access Anterior Broaching Retractor

The Direct Access Anterior Broaching Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 57 mm wide fixed blade profile, 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. An overall length of 9″ (22.86 cm) total reach 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 Direct Access Anterior Broaching Retractor is used in direct anterior approach hip surgery to hook behind the femur and lever it upward into the surgical incision, allowing uninhibited access for femoral broaches and stems.

It is indicated for primary Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty (DAA THA), revision anterior hip surgery, femoral neck osteotomy, and anterior hip joint reconstruction.

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.

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

Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each orientation is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals typically order paired sets (Left and Right) to equip anterior hip trays.

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