Humeral Head Retractor

Unlocking the Glenoid: Humeral Head Retractors by Peak Surgicals

In complicated shoulder reconstructions and arthroplasty, the most difficult hurdle for any surgeon is to gain open accessibility to the cavity of the glenoid. This Humeral Head Retractor is an orthopedic device designed to give the necessary exposure while safely moving the head of the humerus. Peak Surgicals provides high-performing humeral head Retractors that combine mechanical leverage with anatomical security, which ensures an operating field that is stable.

Purpose-Built for Maximum Exposure

The Humeral head retractor by Peak Surgicals is engineered to be placed between the humeral head and the glenoid. Utilising a controlled force to the posterior and lateral sides, the instrument "delivers" the glenoid into the surgeon's direct line of sight. This is vital to ensure the exact treatment of the bone's surface as well as the precise positioning of prosthetic parts.

Our retractors are made of top-quality German stainless steel that provides the superior tension strength required for orthopaedic levering and are immune to the demands of sterilization repeatedly.

Key Design Features

We at Peak Surgicals pay attention to the little details that make a huge difference when it comes to the OR:

• Dual Prong Distal Tip Most of our models come with two slender, widely spaced prongs. The prongs are designed to be wrapped around the neck of the posterior glenoid and distribute the force evenly to avoid the formation of pressure points in a particular area or bone fractures.
• A Strong Anatomical Curve. This blade has been bent to move around the curvature of the humerus. This allows for substantial retraction without blocking the surgical instruments.
• Ergonomic Handle, T-Handle and Ring Grip: We offer different handle options with T-shaped handles to provide maximum torque, and ring grip designs to provide more precise, hand-held control by the surgeon assistant.
• Satin Anti-Glare Finish: To reduce eye fatigue when working with high-intensity theatre lighting, our equipment has satin finishes that minimise reflections.

Critical Clinical Applications

The Head Retractor for the Humeral from Peak Surgicals is the mainstay of various major orthopedic procedures:

1. Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA): Critical for dislocating the humerus to allow glenoid reaming as well as component fixation.
2. Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA): Essential to provide the necessary clearance to install the baseplate of the glenosphere.
3. Open Bankart repairs: Utilised to reduce the size of the humerus, and allow openings to the labrum anterior as well as the capsule to ensure stability.
4. Hemiarthroplasty: Assists in the clear visualisation of the joint space in partial shoulder replacements.
