Bent Hohmann Retractors – Wide

Bent Hohmann Retractors – Wide are reusable orthopedic surgical instruments designed to provide controlled retraction and improved exposure during orthopedic procedures. The wide 41 mm blade provides broader tissue engagement than narrow Hohmann patterns, making the instrument suitable when a larger retraction surface is preferred. Its bent profile helps position the blade around anatomical structures while maintaining access to the operative field.

The standard configuration, model 6590, has an overall length of 9.375 inches (23.8 cm), a 7-inch (17.8 cm) handle, a 41 mm blade width, and a depth from the bend of 4.75 inches (12 cm). This configuration provides a practical balance between working length and maneuverability for orthopedic exposure.

A longer configuration is also available as model 6590-01, designed with an extra-long handle for applications requiring additional reach. It measures 11 inches (28 cm) overall, with a 9-inch (22.9 cm) handle, a 41 mm blade width, and a 5.5-inch (14 cm) depth from the bend. The increased working dimensions can be useful when greater access or deeper positioning is required, depending on the surgical approach and anatomy.

The bent Hohmann design allows the retractor to be positioned at an angle relative to the operative site. This configuration can help maintain controlled retraction while keeping the handle away from the immediate surgical field. The wide blade distributes contact across a broader area, supporting stable positioning during procedures where exposure of bone or surrounding soft tissue is necessary.

These orthopedic retractors may be used in selected procedures involving the hip, femur, acetabulum, pelvis, and other musculoskeletal structures where controlled retraction is required. The appropriate model should be selected according to the patient's anatomy, surgical approach, required depth, and surgeon preference. The dimensions provided for each configuration should be reviewed before ordering to ensure the selected retractor is appropriate for the intended application.

Bent Hohmann Retractors – Wide are manufactured as reusable surgical instruments using surgical-grade metal construction suitable for professional clinical environments. The rigid design supports controlled manipulation and repeated handling during orthopedic procedures. Smooth surfaces and a stable blade profile facilitate cleaning and inspection when processed according to appropriate reusable-instrument protocols.

After use, the retractor should be cleaned promptly according to the manufacturer's instructions and the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures. It should be thoroughly rinsed, dried, inspected for damage or deformation, and sterilized using an approved method appropriate for the instrument. Particular attention should be given to the blade, bend, handle, and contact surfaces to ensure the instrument remains in suitable condition for subsequent use.

With its broad 41 mm blade, bent profile, and two available length configurations, Bent Hohmann Retractors – Wide provide orthopedic surgical teams with a practical option for controlled exposure and retraction. The standard 6590 and extra-long 6590-01 configurations allow selection based on working length and depth requirements while maintaining the same wide blade profile.
