The Humeral Head Retractor is a heavy-duty orthopedic shoulder instrument designed to displace the proximal humerus posteriorly during total shoulder arthroplasty. Available in four overall lengths from 8 ¾″ to 11″ with a curved shank and angled ring blade, it delivers unobstructed glenoid cavity visualization.
Product Description
The Humeral Head Retractor is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide reliable bone leverage and soft-tissue displacement during total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Designed with an anatomically curved shank and an angled ring-blade profile, this retractor cups the proximal humerus securely, levering it posteriorly away from the glenoid rim without slipping into surrounding neurovascular zones.
Built for complete procedural adaptability across variable patient sizes, the Humeral Head Retractor series is offered in four selectable overall tool lengths: 8 ¾ inches ($84), 9 inches ($89), 10 inches ($94), and an extended 11 inches ($99) for deep muscular or bariatric shoulder corridors. Its contoured blade edges distribute leverage counter-traction evenly across cortical bone, while the heavy-duty handle provides surgical assistants with sustained manual pulling power, reducing hand fatigue throughout prolonged glenoid reaming and component placement.
Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Humeral Head Retractor to withstand immense orthopaedic torque and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, providing shoulder reconstruction and sports medicine teams worldwide with unyielding clinical durability, corrosion resistance, and surgical precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Humeral Head Retractor?
The Humeral Head Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Curved shank with angled ring-shaped blade contoured to cradle the proximal humerus, 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 ¾″ ($84.00), 9″ ($89.00), 10″ ($94.00), 11″ ($99.00) 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 is the Humeral Head Retractor used for?
The Humeral Head Retractor is used in shoulder surgery to seat behind the humeral neck and lever the humeral head posteriorly, providing an unencumbered view of the glenoid vault for reaming and prosthetic placement.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for anatomical Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA), Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA), shoulder hemiarthroplasty, proximal humerus fracture fixation, and glenoid bone grafting.
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 Humeral Head Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Humeral Head 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 each retractor is a solid, one-piece forged instrument, each length is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multi-size sets to equip shoulder surgical trays.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, modified shank curves, 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.
