Comparison with Similar Instruments

While standard knee retractors like the Hohmann or Blount are effective for general retraction, the Lateral Fat Pad Retractor is uniquely tailored for TKR procedures. Its wider 41mm blade ensures greater stability when handling soft tissues compared to narrower retractors. This makes it the preferred choice in arthroplasty-specific surgical sets, where precision and control are paramount.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure longevity and consistent performance:

• Rinse immediately after use to prevent blood and debris from drying.

• Clean with neutral pH detergents manually or with ultrasonic cleaners.

• Sterilize using autoclaves, following standard hospital protocols.

• Inspect regularly for wear, particularly at the blade edges.

• Store in protective instrument trays to prevent mechanical damage.
