Description

The Charnley Horizontal Hip Retractor is a specialized self-retaining surgical instrument designed for use in hip and orthopedic procedures where stable retraction and wide surgical exposure are required. Its horizontal design provides excellent access to the operative site while maintaining consistent tissue separation throughout the procedure.

The instrument incorporates hinged joints that allow the blades to adapt to anatomical contours and improve positioning flexibility during surgery. The hinged construction helps maintain secure retraction while reducing the need for constant repositioning, making it particularly useful during complex hip procedures and reconstructive operations.

With an overall length of 28 cm (11″), the Charnley Horizontal Hip Retractor provides substantial reach and leverage for deep surgical exposures. The instrument features an 18 mm blade depth and a wide 7″ opening, enabling effective retraction of tissue and bony structures while maintaining clear visualization of the operative field. It is commonly used to retract the detached greater trochanter headward while positioning the femur toward the feet during hip surgery.

Supplied in a 28 cm (11″) length configuration with an 18 mm blade depth, hinged joints, and a 7″ opening, this retractor delivers reliable self-retaining performance in demanding orthopedic procedures. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Charnley Horizontal Hip Retractor undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance.
