Description

The Hohmann Bone Elevator is used to hold soft tissue away from the bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Its narrow working end makes it suitable for areas where there is limited space around the surgical site. It can be used for bone exposure during fracture fixation, osteotomy, and reconstructive procedures.

The blade is 8 mm wide and has a curved retaining lip at the end. This lip helps the instrument stay against the bone when the tissue is being retracted. The slim blade can be placed around the edge of the bone without taking up much room in the operative field.

The instrument has an overall length of 22 cm (8½”). This gives it a useful amount of reach while keeping the handle within easy control. The length is also suitable when the area being exposed is not directly at the surface.

The working end is kept relatively narrow rather than using a broad retractor. This is useful when the surgeon needs to expose one particular area of bone or work around other instruments already in the field.

It is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. It is intended for repeated surgical use and can be cleaned and sterilized as part of the usual instrument processing routine.

With its 8 mm curved blade and 22 cm length, the Hohmann Bone Elevator is a straightforward option for bone exposure and soft tissue retraction in orthopedic surgery.
