Lateral Soft Tissue Retractors

The Lateral Soft Tissue Retractors 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 and 22 mm wide curved blade layouts, 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 9.75 inches (24.76 cm, $84.00) and 9.87 inches (25.07 cm, $89.00) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium surgical-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

Lateral Soft Tissue Retractors are used in knee replacement surgery to retract the lateral capsule, fat pad, and lateral collateral ligament away from the tibial plateau during bone resection.

They are indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), revision knee reconstruction, and lateral meniscal repairs.

The instruments are handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.

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

Because each retractor is a solid, one-piece forged instrument, each configuration is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multiple sizes as open-stock inventory.
