Bent Hohmann Retractor – Wide Tip 41mm Modified | Orthopedic Instrument

Specialized Modified Bend for Superior Leverage

The Surgiportal Modified Bent Hohmann is engineered to address the mechanical challenges of deep-joint surgery. Unlike standard straight Hohmanns, the modified offset handle and calculated blade curvature allow the surgeon or assistant to maintain powerful retraction from a more ergonomic position. This bend provides a natural fulcrum against the bone, significantly increasing retracting force while reducing the hand and arm fatigue often associated with high-torque orthopedic cases.

Wide 41mm Tip for Maximum Stability

Effective bone exposure requires a retractor that stays securely in place under tension.

• 41mm Broad Profile: The wide blade surface area distributes pressure across the soft tissue, reducing the risk of localized tissue trauma or “cutting” into the muscle during aggressive retraction.

• Tapered Anchor Point: The distal tip is precision-tapered to engage the bone cortex or seat firmly behind the femoral neck or acetabular rim, providing a “non-slip” anchor point.

• Modified Geometry: The blade’s width and specific contour are optimized for retracting large muscle groups—such as the gluteus or quadriceps—to reveal a clear operative field for implant placement.

OR-Grade Durability and Craftsmanship

Orthopedic surgery demands instruments that can withstand extreme mechanical stress. Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Surgiportal Hohmann retractor is built for professional longevity. The material is resistant to bending and corrosion, even under the high-pressure environments of hip and knee reconstruction. The surface is finished with a low-glare satin polish to prevent interference from high-intensity operating room lights.

Reliable & Sustainable

As a fully autoclavable and reusable instrument, this retractor offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to single-use options. Its seamless construction ensures thorough sterilization, meeting the highest standards for infection control in the orthopedic theater.

FAQs

1. What procedures is the 41mm wide Hohmann best suited for?

The 41mm wide pattern is ideal for total hip replacements (THA) and total knee replacements (TKA), where large muscle masses must be retracted to expose the acetabulum or the proximal tibia and distal femur.

2. Does the “Bent” design make it harder to clean?

No. The smooth, rounded curvature of the modification is designed to be easily accessible for cleaning brushes. We recommend paying close attention to the junction of the tip and blade to ensure all biological debris is removed before autoclaving.

3. Is the tip sharp enough to engage the bone?

The tip is designed to be “semi-sharp”—sharp enough to securely seat against the bone cortex or soft tissue anchors, but sufficiently rounded to prevent unintended piercing of neurovascular structures.
