$44.00USD

The Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor is a heavy-duty 11.75″ (29.85 cm) orthopedic leverage instrument designed to retract heavy gluteal muscle structures during hip arthroplasty. Featuring a 20 mm wide curved blade and an ergonomic handle, it ensures clear visual exposure of the acetabulum and greater trochanter.

Product Description

The Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor is a heavy-duty orthopedic surgical instrument engineered specifically to handle dense, bulky muscular structures during total hip arthroplasty and complex pelvic reconstruction. Designed with an extended reach and an anatomically contoured blade, this retractor allows surgical assistants to leverage the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and anterior capsular tissues away from the joint corridor without causing muscle tears.

Built to handle heavy muscle structures with ease, this Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor configuration features an overall tool length of 11.75 inches (29.85 cm, $44) paired with a 20 mm wide blade profile. Its gently curved blade geometry wraps smoothly around the superior and posterior aspects of the greater trochanter and femoral neck, preventing accidental slippage off bone cortices during deep acetabular reaming. The ergonomic handle provides superior pulling leverage, reducing assistant hand strain.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor to withstand intense mechanical torque and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, providing orthopedic surgery teams worldwide with exceptional durability and clinical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor?

The Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 20 mm wide curved blade 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 11.75 inches (29.85 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.

What is the Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor used for?

The Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor is used in hip arthroplasty to retract the gluteus medius and minimus muscles away from the acetabulum and proximal femur, maintaining clear exposure for joint replacement.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) via anterolateral, direct lateral, or posterior approaches, revision hip reconstruction, and femoral osteotomies.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.

Is the Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus 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, it is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered 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.
