Paprosky Acetabular Spreader

The Paprosky Acetabular Spreader is an orthopedic instrument designed to assist with controlled spreading and manipulation during acetabular surgical procedures. Its extended 12" (30.5 cm) overall length provides working reach to the acetabular region, while the 14 × 22 mm pads define the working surfaces used during the spreading operation.

The instrument provides a dedicated configuration for applications where controlled separation or positioning within the acetabular area is required.

Key Features

• Designed for controlled acetabular spreading and manipulation.
• 12" (30.5 cm) overall length.
• 14 × 22 mm pad dimensions.
• Extended working length for access to the acetabular region.
• Dedicated spreading configuration for orthopedic applications.

Design and Configuration

The Paprosky Acetabular Spreader features an extended instrument configuration with dedicated pads at the working end. The 12" (30.5 cm) overall length provides reach to the surgical site while allowing the instrument to be manipulated from outside the immediate operative area.

The working pads measure 14 × 22 mm, providing the specified contact dimensions for the spreading mechanism.

Acetabular Working Pads

The spreader is equipped with pads measuring 14 × 22 mm. These pads form the defined working surfaces of the instrument and are intended to contact the relevant area during controlled spreading.

The pad dimensions should be considered when selecting the instrument for the intended surgical application.

Extended Working Length

The 12" (30.5 cm) overall length provides an extended working configuration for acetabular procedures. This length allows the instrument to reach the operative area while maintaining a practical position for handling and manipulation.

Spreading Function

The Paprosky Acetabular Spreader is designed to assist with controlled spreading within the acetabular surgical field. The instrument can be positioned according to the requirements of the procedure and manipulated to provide the intended spreading action.

The amount of spreading and the exact method of use should be determined according to the surgical technique and anatomical requirements.

Surgical Applications

The Paprosky Acetabular Spreader may be used during orthopedic hip procedures involving the acetabular region where controlled spreading, positioning, or manipulation is required.

Its specific application should be determined by the surgeon according to the procedure and surgical technique.
