Description

The Hohmann Curved 90° Anterior Hip Elevator is a large orthopedic retractor used during anterior hip procedures and joint reconstruction. Its 90° curve gives the working end a different approach to the anatomy than a straight elevator, making it useful when the femur or acetabulum needs to be exposed from the front. It is intended for procedures where a firm, stable retraction point is needed in a deeper operative field.

The blade is 40 mm wide, providing a broad surface for holding tissue away from the surgical area. The 90° curved configuration allows the blade to sit around the bony structures rather than approaching them in a straight line. This can be useful during total hip replacement, revision arthroplasty, and other reconstructive hip procedures.

Overall, the instrument measures 33 cm (13″). The longer length gives the surgeon additional reach when working deeper within the hip and leaves more room between the hand and the operative site. It also provides leverage when the broad blade is being used for retraction.

The combination of the wide blade and pronounced curve makes this model different from smaller Hohmann elevators. It is intended for situations where a substantial amount of tissue needs to be held back and access to the femoral or acetabular area is important. The working end can be positioned around the anatomy and maintained there while the surgeon works.

It is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. The material is suitable for repeated surgical use and routine sterilization. Proper cleaning and maintenance help preserve the instrument and its resistance to corrosion over time.

With its 40 mm blade, 90° curve, and 33 cm (13″) length, the Hohmann Curved 90° Anterior Hip Elevator is designed for broad retraction and deeper access during anterior hip surgery. It is particularly suited to total hip replacement, revision procedures, and complex joint reconstruction.
