The Blount Knee Retractor 7″ is a precision-engineered surgical instrument used primarily in orthopedic knee procedures. Its specialized design enables surgeons to retract soft tissues and the patella, providing optimal exposure to the operative site. Reliable exposure is crucial for accurate implant placement and surgical efficiency, making the Blount Retractor an essential tool in knee arthroplasty and reconstructive surgeries.
Clinical Applications
The Blount Retractor is versatile and widely applied in:
-
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): For controlled patella retraction and visualization of the joint.
-
Ligament Reconstructions (ACL/PCL): Ensures unobstructed access to ligaments and bone structures.
-
Knee Trauma Surgeries: Facilitates exposure during fracture fixation and reconstructive interventions.
-
Sports Injury Repairs: Ideal for procedures requiring stable soft tissue handling.
-
Revision Surgeries: Provides consistent retraction in complex secondary procedures.
Design Advantages
The Blount Knee Retractor is recognized for its ergonomic design and precise dimensions:
-
7-Inch Length: Compact size allows controlled retraction without excessive force.
-
Angled Blade: Designed for optimal engagement with soft tissue structures.
-
German Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures superior strength and corrosion resistance.

Comparison with Similar Instruments
Compared to general-purpose retractors, the Blount Knee Retractor is specifically optimized for knee surgeries. While instruments like the Langenbeck or Hohmann retractors serve broader orthopedic functions, the Blount Retractor’s size, shape, and angulation are tailored for patella and soft tissue handling in the knee joint. This makes it more effective in total knee arthroplasty and other focused procedures.
Care & Maintenance
To maintain performance and longevity:
-
Rinse the instrument immediately after use to remove debris.
-
Use neutral pH detergents during ultrasonic cleaning.
-
Ensure proper sterilization in standard hospital autoclaves.
-
Store in instrument trays to prevent prong or blade damage.
-
Regularly inspect for wear or damage before surgical use.
