Additional Information for Knee Retractor
Knee retractors are medical instruments used during surgical procedures involving the knee joint. 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."
Knee retractors are designed to hold back the soft tissues surrounding the knee, providing surgeons with better visibility and access to the surgical site. They are typically made of stainless steel or other durable materials and come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different surgical techniques.
The retractors have a handle or grip on one end for easy manipulation by the surgeon or surgical assistant. The other end of the retractor features blades or hooks that can be inserted into the soft tissues around the knee to hold them back during the procedure.
Knee retractors are commonly used in orthopedic surgeries such as knee replacements, ligament repairs, and arthroscopic procedures. They help to maintain a clear and stable surgical field, allowing the surgeon to perform the necessary interventions with precision and accuracy.
It's important to note that knee retractors should only be used by trained medical professionals in a sterile surgical environment.
