Spreader Calcaneal 3 3/4″ 6mm Blade Serrated

Spreader Calcaneal 3 3/4″ with 6mm Serrated Blade and Thru Hole for 1.3mm Wire

The Spreader Calcaneal 3 3/4″ with 6mm Serrated Blade and Thru Hole for 1.3mm Wire is a premium-quality surgical instrument specifically designed for orthopedic, podiatric, and trauma applications. This highly specialized tool plays a vital role in spreading and stabilizing the calcaneus bone during surgical interventions, particularly in foot and ankle reconstruction and fracture fixation.

🔹 Purpose and Clinical Significance

In orthopedic surgery, calcaneal fractures are among the most complex and challenging injuries to treat due to the bone’s irregular structure and its role in weight-bearing. The Calcaneal Spreader is engineered to give surgeons maximum control while separating or holding bone fragments in position. Its serrated 6mm blade provides a secure grip, while the thru-hole accommodates wires up to 1.3mm (.51″) in diameter, allowing for reliable fixation.

This dual functionality of spreading and stabilization reduces the need for multiple instruments, saving valuable time in the operating room and improving patient outcomes.

🔹 Key Technical Specifications

• Overall Length: 3 3/4″ (95mm)

• Blade Type: Serrated for slip-resistant grip

• Blade Width: 6mm

• Opening Capacity: 1 1/4″

• Thru Hole Diameter: Supports up to 1.3mm (.51″) wires

• Material: Premium German stainless steel

• Sterilization: 100% autoclavable & reusable

🔹 Advantages for Surgeons

1. Secure Wire Passage – The integrated thru-hole allows fixation wires to pass through without slipping, ensuring stability.

2. Compact Design – The 3 3/4″ size makes it ideal for delicate bone work, especially in confined surgical sites.

3. Enhanced Grip – The serrated blade prevents slipping, even when working with hard cortical bone.

4. Durable & Autoclavable – Manufactured from German stainless steel, resistant to rust, corrosion, and repeated sterilization.

5. Ergonomic Handling – Lightweight yet strong, reducing surgeon fatigue during long procedures.

🔹 Common Surgical Applications

• Calcaneal Fracture Repair: Maintaining controlled separation of bone fragments.

• Orthopedic Trauma Surgery: Supporting bone alignment during fixation.

• Foot & Ankle Reconstruction: Facilitating surgical access in podiatric procedures.

• Wire-Assisted Fixation: Stabilizing fractures with wires for secure healing.

• Teaching & Training: Used in surgical education for demonstrating calcaneal approaches.

🔹 Material and Build Quality

Javeria Intl instruments are made from certified German stainless steel, ensuring unmatched durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to wear. The serrated blade undergoes precision machining for consistent performance, while the ergonomic handle design allows surgeons to maneuver efficiently in complex surgical cases.

Unlike low-quality alternatives, this instrument maintains sharpness and grip even after repeated use, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.

🔹 Why This Instrument Matters in Calcaneal Surgery

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), calcaneal fractures account for nearly 2% of all fractures and are most commonly associated with high-energy trauma. Surgical correction often requires precise manipulation of small, fragile fragments. A reliable spreading instrument like the Spreader Calcaneal 3 3/4″ minimizes surgical complications and ensures accurate alignment, leading to better long-term functional recovery for patients.
