The Acromioplasty Retractor is designed to assist with controlled tissue retraction and exposure during compatible shoulder and orthopedic procedures. Its extended 9" (22.9 cm) overall length provides useful working reach, while the 18 mm blade width provides a defined retraction surface.

The compact blade width and extended length make this instrument suitable for applications requiring controlled access and exposure within the shoulder region.

Design and Configuration

The retractor combines a 9" (22.9 cm) overall length with an 18 mm wide blade. This configuration provides a balance between working reach and a relatively narrow blade profile.

Key dimensions include:

• 9" (22.9 cm) overall length
• 18 mm blade width
• Dedicated configuration for compatible acromioplasty and shoulder procedures

Orthopedic Applications

The Acromioplasty Retractor is designed for compatible applications involving:

• Shoulder surgical exposure
• Acromioplasty procedures
• Controlled soft-tissue retraction
• Orthopedic shoulder procedures requiring a narrow retractor blade

Specific application should be determined according to the applicable surgical technique and procedural requirements.

Handling and Use Considerations

The retractor should be selected according to the required working reach and exposure requirements. Its 18 mm blade width should be considered when determining suitability for the intended application.

The instrument should be used within its intended mechanical and dimensional capabilities.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and validated healthcare-facility protocols. After cleaning, inspect the blade, working surfaces, and overall structure for cleanliness, damage, deformation, and proper function.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before reuse, the retractor should undergo the validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization process appropriate for the instrument. Inspect for corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or other signs of impaired function before returning it to service.
