Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators Retractor 12mm, Orthopedic Instrument

The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators Retractor 12mm is designed for orthopedic and shoulder surgery where controlled access to the glenoid region is required. This specialized glenoid elevator retractor combines the functional characteristics of a Darrach-type instrument with a modified configuration intended to support tissue retraction and anatomical exposure during demanding surgical procedures. The 12mm working width provides a focused contact area for positioning around the surgical field. It can assist orthopedic surgeons in maintaining exposure of the glenoid and surrounding structures while allowing controlled manipulation during procedures. The instrument may be particularly useful when access is limited and precise placement of a retractor or elevator is required. This 12mm orthopedic retractor can be used in a range of shoulder-related procedures, including reconstructive and joint surgery where glenoid exposure is necessary. Its specialized profile helps the surgeon work within the operative field while minimizing unnecessary obstruction from larger instruments. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , the instrument is designed for durability, repeated professional use, and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. The smooth surface supports effective cleaning and inspection between procedures, while the robust construction provides reliable handling during orthopedic applications. The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevator Retractor is suitable for hospitals, orthopedic operating rooms, surgical centers, and professional instrument sets. Its compact 12mm configuration makes it a practical addition to orthopedic and shoulder surgery instrument collections. As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned, inspected, dried, and sterilized using validated procedures appropriate for the facility and instrument manufacturer. Regular inspection of the working end and overall instrument condition helps maintain proper performance and service life.
