Engh Intercondylar Notch Retractor

The Engh Intercondylar Notch Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 2.25 inches (57.1 mm) contoured tip profile, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is heavy-duty ergonomic flat handle designed for sustained leverage counter-traction, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 8 ⅛ inches (206.4 mm) 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 Engh Intercondylar Notch Retractor is used in total knee replacement surgery to seat in the intercondylar notch, retracting soft tissues and exposing the distal femur for box cuts and trial seating.

It is indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), posterior-stabilized knee reconstruction, revision knee surgery, and distal femoral bone preparation.

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.
