The OR Grade Ball Spike Pelvic Pusher Straight Orthopedic Spine Hip Retractor is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed for controlled bone manipulation and positioning during pelvic, hip, and spinal surgery. Its straight configuration provides a direct working approach, while the ball-spike tip is designed to establish focused contact with bone during surgical positioning and retraction.
Pelvic pushers and bone-positioning instruments are commonly used during orthopedic procedures where maintaining accurate control of bone fragments, anatomical structures, or surgical exposure is important. The pointed spike can help engage the appropriate bony surface, while the rounded ball component provides a defined contact area for controlled application of force.
The straight shaft allows the surgeon to maintain a clear and direct line of access to the operative field. This makes the instrument useful in procedures involving the pelvis, acetabulum, hip, and spine, depending on the surgical technique and surgeon preference. It may also be incorporated into orthopedic trauma and reconstructive instrument sets where controlled bone positioning is required.
The instrument is designed for professional surgical environments and is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion when appropriately maintained. The working surfaces are designed to withstand the demands of repeated surgical handling when the instrument is supplied as reusable.
Its compact, purpose-built design allows it to be used alongside other orthopedic retractors, bone levers, clamps, and positioning instruments. The ball-spike configuration provides a practical option when a surgeon requires a focused point of contact for manipulating or stabilizing bone during a procedure.
For long-term performance, the instrument should be cleaned promptly after use and processed according to validated manufacturer instructions and healthcare facility sterilization protocols. Regular inspection of the spike, ball tip, shaft, and handle can help identify wear or damage before clinical use.
The OR Grade Ball Spike Pelvic Pusher is suitable for hospitals, orthopedic operating rooms, spine surgery centers, trauma facilities, and professional surgical instrument suppliers requiring a dependable instrument for pelvic, hip, and spinal applications.
