Glenoid Retractors are heavy-duty orthopedic shoulder instruments engineered to expose the glenoid rim and retract periarticular soft tissues during total shoulder arthroplasty. Available in six lengths from 8 ¾″ to 11 ¾″ in Left-facing or Right-facing orientations, their contoured pronged blades ensure secure joint rim engagement.

Product Description

Glenoid Retractors are specialized orthopedic surgical instruments engineered specifically to provide clear, stable exposure of the glenoid vault and posterior joint margin during total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Designed with an anatomically curved pronged blade, these retractors hook securely over the anterior or posterior glenoid rim, holding capsular tissues and musculature aside to allow uninhibited reaming and prosthetic socket placement.

Built to accommodate diverse patient anatomies and surgical approaches, the Glenoid Retractors series is manufactured across six selectable overall lengths: 8 ¾″ ($88), 9″ ($91), 9 ½″ ($94), 10 ½″ ($97), 11″ ($100), and an extended 11 ¾″ ($103) reach. Surgeons can select between dedicated Left-facing and Right-facing directional orientation profiles to align with specific deltopectoral or superior surgical exposures. Its heavy-duty handle provides surgical assistants with superior leverage and reduced hand fatigue.

Machined from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures Glenoid Retractors to withstand heavy mechanical loads and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, delivering exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and clinical performance for shoulder reconstruction and orthopedic trauma teams worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Glenoid Retractors?

The Glenoid Retractors is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Contoured pronged blade engineered to hook securely over the glenoid margin, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is heavy-duty flat ergonomic handle designed for sustained leverage counter-traction, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 8 ¾″ ($88.00), 9″ ($91.00), 9 ½″ ($94.00), 10 ½″ ($97.00), 11″ ($100.00), 11 ¾″ ($103.00) 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 are Glenoid Retractors used for?

Glenoid Retractors are used in shoulder arthroplasty to hook over the glenoid neck and retract the capsule and subscapularis tendon, providing an unobstructed view into the glenohumeral joint.

Which surgical procedures are they for?

They are indicated for anatomical Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA), Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA), glenoid bone grafting, Bankart lesion repair, and revision shoulder reconstruction.

What material and finish are used?

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.

Are Glenoid Retractors reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. All Glenoid Retractors are 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because each retractor is a solid, one-piece forged instrument, each length and orientation combination is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals typically order paired sets (Left and Right) to complete shoulder trays.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade curvatures, altered prong profiles, 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.
