The Brown Deltoid Richardson Retractor Small 44mm Orthopedic Shoulder Instrument is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to provide controlled retraction of soft tissue during shoulder and related surgical procedures. Its compact profile makes it useful when access and visualization are required within a relatively confined operative field.
Featuring a 44mm working blade, this small-size retractor provides a defined surface for positioning and holding soft tissue away from the surgical site. The Richardson-style configuration allows the surgeon to apply controlled retraction while maintaining access to the underlying anatomical structures.
The instrument is particularly suited to orthopedic shoulder surgery, including procedures involving the deltoid region and surrounding soft tissues. Depending on the operative technique, it may assist with maintaining exposure during surgical access, repair, reconstruction, or other procedures requiring controlled tissue displacement.
The Brown Deltoid / Richardson pattern provides a practical design for surgical teams seeking reliable manual retraction. Its compact working end can be advantageous when a smaller retractor is preferred for precise positioning and access around the shoulder.
Commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or another suitable medical-grade alloy, the instrument is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable handling in professional surgical environments. The blade should be inspected before use for alignment, surface condition, and structural integrity.
For instruments specifically manufactured and validated for reusable use, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging, and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s applicable protocols.
