The Anterior Bone Lever 43mm 13″ Orthopedic Curved Hohmann Retractor Wide is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist surgeons with controlled bone retraction, tissue positioning, and exposure of the operative field. Its Hohmann-style configuration combines a broad working blade with an extended curved shaft, making it suitable for procedures where additional reach and stable bone engagement are required.
Featuring a 43mm wide blade, the instrument provides a broad working surface for engaging bone while helping distribute retraction forces across the contact area. The curved design supports access around anatomical structures and can help maintain a clear surgical field during orthopedic procedures.
With an overall length of approximately 13 inches, this anterior bone lever offers extended reach compared with shorter retractors. The longer shaft can be particularly useful when access to deeper or more distant anatomical structures is required. The instrument is designed to provide the surgeon with controlled leverage while maintaining positioning of the working end.
Hohmann-style retractors and bone levers are commonly used in orthopedic surgery for exposing bone and assisting with soft tissue retraction. Depending on the procedure, this instrument may be used in applications involving the hip, femur, knee, or other orthopedic surgical sites where a broad curved bone lever is appropriate. Actual use should be determined by the operating surgeon based on the procedure and patient anatomy.
The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing a durable construction suitable for professional surgical environments. The smooth metallic surface facilitates routine cleaning, inspection, and appropriate reprocessing when supplied as a reusable instrument.
The 43mm Anterior Bone Lever is a practical addition to orthopedic surgical sets, trauma instrument trays, joint reconstruction sets, and general bone surgery collections. Its combination of wide blade dimensions, extended length, and curved Hohmann profile provides versatility for controlled bone exposure and retraction.
For safe and effective use, the instrument should be inspected before each procedure for structural integrity, blade condition, and proper alignment. Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and maintenance should follow validated manufacturer instructions and applicable healthcare facility protocols.
