Additional Information for Orthopedic Retractor
Orthopedic retractors are specialized instruments used in orthopedic surgery to hold back tissues and provide better visibility and access to the surgical site. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Orthopedic retractors come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes and surgical procedures. They are typically made of stainless steel or other durable materials to ensure sterility and longevity.
These retractors are used by orthopedic surgeons to retract muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues during procedures such as joint replacements, fracture repairs, and spinal surgeries. By holding the tissues aside, orthopedic retractors allow surgeons to access the affected area and perform the necessary surgical interventions with precision.
Some common types of orthopedic retractors include:
1. Gelpi Retractor: This self-retaining retractor has sharp, curved blades that can be locked in place to hold back tissues.
2. Hohmann Retractor: This retractor has a curved, spoon-like blade that is used to retract muscles and tendons during orthopedic procedures.
3. Army-Navy Retractor: This handheld retractor has two curved blades with a flat, smooth surface. It is commonly used to retract soft tissues during orthopedic surgeries.
4. Weitlaner Retractor: This self-retaining retractor has sharp, outward-curving blades that can be adjusted to hold tissues apart.
5. Cobb Elevator: Although not technically a retractor, the Cobb elevator is often used in orthopedic procedures to lift and separate tissues.
These are just a few examples of the orthopedic retractors available in the market. The specific type and size of retractor used will depend on the surgical procedure and the surgeon's preference.
It's important to note that orthopedic retractors should only be used by trained medical professionals in a sterile surgical environment.
