The Patella Retractor is a specialized 9″ (22.86 cm) orthopedic knee instrument designed to elevate and evert the patella during total knee arthroplasty. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a 22 mm patella pad, a 16 mm lower blade, and a distinctive hook-like tip, it provides stable, non-slip leverage over the trochlear groove.
Product Description
The Patella Retractor is an indispensable orthopedic surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide safe, non-slip eversion and displacement of the patella and patellar tendon during total knee arthroplasty and joint reconstructions. Designed to hook under the patellar margin, this retractor allows surgical teams to mobilize the extensor mechanism cleanly away from the distal femur, establishing an expansive visual corridor to the anterior cruciate ligament and femoral condyles.
Built to ensure absolute durability and corrosion resistance, this dedicated Patella Retractor configuration features an overall tool length of 9 inches (22.86 cm, $84). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, its sleek, elongated structural geometry incorporates a 22 mm wide patella pad paired with a 16 mm lower blade width featuring a slightly curved edge and a distinctive hook-like functional tip layout. This anatomical profile seats securely behind cortical bone and soft tissue without crushing patellar articular cartilage. The ergonomic handle delivers fatigue-free manual leverage for operating assistants.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Patella Retractor to withstand heavy orthopedic torque and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, providing sports medicine specialists and knee reconstructive surgeons worldwide with exceptional mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and complete clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Patella Retractor?
The Patella Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 16 mm wide lower blade, 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 inches (22.86 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Patella Retractor used for?
The Patella Retractor is used in knee arthroplasty to hook under and evert the patella laterally, exposing the femoral trochlea and tibial plateau for resurfacing and resection.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), revision knee reconstruction, patellar resurfacing, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and anterior knee arthrotomy.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Is the Patella Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Patella 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 this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, it is supplied as a complete standalone unit. Hospitals can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom pad widths, modified hook angles, 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.
