Femoral Bone Retractor for Veterinary Orthopedic Surgery

Femoral Bone Retractor for Veterinary Orthopedic Surgery is a hand-held instrument designed to support exposure of the femoral and hip-region surgical field during selected animal orthopedic procedures. The range is available in three sizes to help veterinary surgeons select an appropriate instrument for the patient, access route, and required working space.

Support for controlled surgical exposure: A femoral bone retractor can be used to retract tissue at the margins of an orthopedic field and help expose the bone for inspection, preparation, reduction, or fixation. It is an exposure instrument and should be used with controlled force to avoid unnecessary pressure on bone, periosteum, muscles, tendons, vessels, and other surrounding structures.

Three model options: Model BA06001 is the small version with a confirmed size of 125 mm x 8 mm x 12 mm. Model BA06002 is the medium version with a confirmed size of 175 mm x 13 mm x 18 mm. Model BA06003 is the large version with a confirmed size of 255 mm x 25 mm x 36 mm.

Veterinary orthopedic applications: The instrument may be considered for selected procedures involving femoral exposure, hip-region access, fracture repair, bone preparation, and other orthopedic workflows in dogs and cats. The correct size depends on patient size, anatomy, incision and approach, tissue depth, and the surgeon's preferred technique. It does not replace fixation, reduction, or other specialized orthopedic instruments.

Size selection for clinical use: A smaller instrument may be preferred when the access space and bone size are limited, while a larger version may be considered when greater reach or a wider working profile is required. These are general selection considerations, not a substitute for the manufacturer's instructions or the surgeon's judgment.

Cleaning and processing: The supplied product image does not confirm the material, reusable status, sterilization method, or validated processing parameters. Before clinical use, confirm the current instructions for cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, inspection, lubrication, and storage. Do not assume that the instrument is sterile or autoclavable without written documentation for the exact model.
