Description

The Wide Prong PCL Retractor is a specialized orthopedic instrument developed to provide broad and stable exposure of the posterior cruciate ligament during knee reconstruction and arthroplasty procedures. Its wider prong configuration allows surgeons to achieve enhanced visualization while maintaining effective soft tissue retraction within the knee joint.

The instrument features a forked working end designed to straddle the cruciate ligament and surrounding anatomical structures. The wider 5 mm prongs and 23 mm tip width increase the contact area during retraction, providing improved tissue support and helping maintain a consistent surgical field throughout the procedure. This configuration is particularly useful when greater exposure is required during complex ligament reconstruction or revision surgery.

Its anatomically curved shaft enables efficient placement within the intercondylar notch and posterior compartment of the knee. With an overall length of 25 cm (10″), the retractor provides excellent leverage and access while preserving precise instrument control. The integrated finger ring allows secure handling and facilitates controlled tissue retraction during demanding orthopedic procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Wide Prong PCL Retractor undergoes rigorous quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable long-term performance. Its broad retraction surface, specialized ligament exposure design, and ergonomic handling characteristics make it an invaluable instrument for advanced knee surgery.
