The Kolbel Shoulder Retractor Frame is a specialized 23 cm (9″) self-retaining orthopedic instrument designed for total shoulder arthroplasty. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a system of free-moving pivoting arms and a multi-position ratchet lock, it accommodates modular blades to deliver hands-free glenohumeral exposure.
Product Description
The Kolbel Shoulder Retractor Frame is an internationally recognized self-retaining orthopedic instrument engineered specifically to provide reliable, multi-directional soft-tissue exposure during total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Designed to host interchangeable modular blades, this framework allows surgeons to retract the deltoid, pectoralis major, and conjoined tendon simultaneously, establishing an expansive, hands-free surgical corridor over the glenohumeral joint.
Built as a comprehensive kit to accommodate varying structural depths during retraction, this Kolbel Shoulder Retractor Frame features an overall instrument length of 23 cm (9 inches, $159). Handcrafted from premium surgical-grade German stainless steel, the chassis is equipped with a system of free-moving pivoting arms that articulate smoothly to conform to patient-specific shoulder anatomy. The integrated mechanical ratchet gears maintain constant counter-traction under heavy muscular tension, eliminating manual assistant fatigue during glenoid preparation.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Kolbel Shoulder Retractor Frame to withstand heavy mechanical loads and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, smooth gear tracking, and complete clinical durability for shoulder reconstruction and sports medicine suites worldwide.
