The Wide Deltoid Retractor 11 3/4″ with 2.5″ Blade is a precision-engineered instrument used in orthopedic shoulder surgery, particularly in total shoulder arthroplasty, open reductions, and reconstructive procedures. Designed to retract the deltoid muscle safely, this retractor ensures wide exposure of the operative field without unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues.
Its robust build, combined with ergonomic handling, makes it a must-have instrument for orthopedic surgeons performing high-precision shoulder procedures.
Clinical Applications
The Wide Deltoid Retractor is indispensable in:
-
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA): Provides retraction for exposure of the glenoid and humeral head.
-
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Assists in proper implant placement by stabilizing deltoid tissues.
-
Fracture Fixation: Useful in open procedures for proximal humerus fractures.
-
Soft Tissue Reconstruction: Facilitates access during tendon or ligament reconstruction near the deltoid region.
-
Orthopedic Trauma Surgery: Enables clear visualization for accurate fixation.
Its 2.5-inch wide blade makes it especially effective in surgeries requiring broad yet controlled tissue displacement.
