The Femoral Head Dislocation Lever 26mm Mueller Type is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed to assist surgeons with controlled manipulation of the femoral head during hip surgery. Its Mueller-type configuration provides a dedicated working profile for applying controlled leverage during procedures where femoral head exposure or dislocation is required.
The instrument features a 26mm working end, providing a defined contact surface for engagement with compatible anatomical structures. The lever design allows the surgeon to apply controlled mechanical force while maintaining instrument handling and positioning throughout the procedure.
Femoral head dislocation instruments are commonly used during hip arthroplasty and other orthopedic hip procedures where access to the femoral head and acetabular region is required. By providing controlled leverage, the instrument can assist with positioning and exposure according to the surgeon’s selected operative technique.
The Mueller-type design is associated with orthopedic hip instrumentation and is intended for professional surgical environments. Its ergonomic configuration allows the instrument to be positioned and manipulated with appropriate control during operative use.
Commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or another suitable medical-grade alloy, the instrument is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance when properly maintained. The working end should be inspected before use to ensure that its surface, alignment, and structural integrity remain suitable for the intended application.
This instrument should only be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals and in accordance with the applicable surgical technique. If supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging, and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions and institutional protocols.
