The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators Retractor 10mm Orthopedic Instrument is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed for use during shoulder surgery where controlled exposure of the glenoid and surrounding anatomical structures is required. Based on the Darrach-type design, this retractor/elevator provides a practical solution for maintaining access to the operative field during orthopedic procedures.
With a 10mm working width, the instrument is suited for focused retraction in areas where controlled tissue displacement is important. Its design allows the surgeon to position the working end around the intended anatomical area while maintaining visibility and access during the procedure.
The instrument can be used in various shoulder and orthopedic surgical applications, particularly procedures involving the glenoid, shoulder joint, and surrounding soft tissues. It may assist during approaches where exposure of the glenoid surface is necessary for subsequent surgical steps.
The working end is designed to provide controlled contact with tissue and anatomical structures, while the overall configuration supports accurate positioning within the surgical field. Its ergonomic handling characteristics allow surgical professionals to manipulate the instrument with appropriate control during demanding orthopedic procedures.
Manufactured for professional surgical environments, this 10mm glenoid retractor is intended for repeated use when properly cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to validated facility protocols. A durable surgical construction helps support routine use in orthopedic operating rooms and instrument sets.
The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators Retractor is particularly useful for orthopedic instrument collections focused on shoulder surgery, glenoid exposure, joint reconstruction, and related procedures. Its compact working dimension makes it a practical addition to specialized shoulder surgery instrument sets.
