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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered handle angles, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
