Description

The Hintermann Distractor with Closed Arms is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed to provide controlled skeletal distraction during foot, ankle, trauma, and reconstructive procedures. Frequently used in arthrodesis, osteotomy, fracture management, and joint reconstruction, the distractor enables surgeons to create and maintain precise separation of bony structures while improving visualization and surgical access.

The instrument features a closed-arm distraction system with pin-placement holes designed to accommodate both 1.6 mm and 2.5 mm fixation pins. This configuration allows secure attachment to bone while providing stable and predictable distraction throughout the procedure. The controlled separation of bone segments facilitates joint preparation, fracture reduction, implant placement, and correction of deformities.

Its robust frame incorporates a precision ratcheted distraction mechanism that enables gradual adjustment and accurate control of distraction forces. Available in 15 cm (6″) and 21 cm (8¼”) lengths with maximum openings of 28 mm and 32 mm respectively, the distractor can be selected according to procedural requirements and anatomical considerations. The ergonomic design provides excellent stability while allowing efficient intraoperative adjustment.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Hintermann Distractor with Closed Arms undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its stable distraction capability, versatile pin compatibility, and precise adjustment mechanism make it an essential instrument for foot, ankle, and reconstructive orthopedic surgery.
