Greater Trochanteric Retractor

The Greater Trochanteric Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 25 mm wide blade profile, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomically designed handle to maximize grip control and minimize hand fatigue, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 14.875 inches (37.8 cm) extended 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 Greater Trochanteric Retractor is used in hip replacement surgery to hook over the greater trochanter, retracting gluteal musculature to expose the acetabulum and proximal femoral canal.

It is indicated for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) via posterior, lateral, or direct anterior approaches, revision hip arthroplasty, trochanteric osteotomy, and periprosthetic fracture fixation.

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 Greater Trochanteric 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 supplied as a complete standalone unit. Hospitals can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.

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