The PCL Retractor is a reusable orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled retraction during knee procedures involving the posterior cruciate ligament. Manufactured from German stainless steel, the instrument is available in two configurations: Medium 11½ inches (29cm) and Long 15 inches (38cm). These two lengths allow surgical teams to select the configuration that matches the required working reach and orthopedic instrument setup.
PCL retractors are used to assist with exposure around the posterior cruciate ligament and posterior knee during orthopedic surgery. Their specialized configuration allows the instrument to be positioned around the cruciate ligament and within the femoral condylar region while providing controlled retraction of the tibia for access to the operative field. The instrument is intended for use by trained orthopedic surgical professionals.
The PCL Retractor is manufactured from German stainless steel and is classified as a reusable Class I surgical instrument. Its rigid construction provides the structural support required for orthopedic retraction while allowing the instrument to be incorporated into routine hospital cleaning, inspection, and processing workflows between procedures.
Two lengths are available within the same product family. The medium version measures 11½ inches (29cm) and is identified as PS-8824. The long version measures 15 inches (38cm) and is identified as PS-8825. Offering both lengths allows hospitals, orthopedic surgeons, surgical centers, and distributors to select the instrument according to required reach and individual surgical preference.
The product is available in satin, dull, and mirror finish options. It is identified as reusable and rust free in the product specifications. Peak Surgicals also provides OEM availability for professional purchasing requirements. These specifications make the instrument suitable for incorporation into orthopedic instrument inventories and knee surgery sets.
The PCL Retractor is available in two configurations. The PS-8824 Medium measures 11½ inches (29cm), while the PS-8825 Long measures 15 inches (38cm). Both options are offered at $66.00 USD. The complete size and product code should be included when ordering so that the required configuration can be identified accurately.
The PCL Retractor is designed for orthopedic knee procedures where controlled exposure around the posterior cruciate ligament is required. PCL retractors are commonly positioned to straddle the cruciate ligament and assist in retracting the tibia away from the femur, providing access to the posterior portion of the knee joint.
This function is relevant in procedures such as knee arthroplasty and other orthopedic operations where the posterior cruciate ligament and surrounding structures need to remain accessible while the surgeon works within the joint. The medium and long versions provide different working lengths while retaining the same core retractor function.
Instrument positioning, the amount of retraction applied, and selection of the appropriate length should follow the operating surgeon's technique and the requirements of the individual procedure. The retractor should be inspected before use to confirm that its working end, shaft, and handle remain structurally intact.

The PCL Retractor should be cleaned promptly after use according to the healthcare facility's validated surgical instrument-processing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working end, shaft, handle, and any surfaces that may retain biological material during orthopedic surgery.
Before each procedure, inspect the retractor for visible corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or other defects that could interfere with normal use. Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, drying, and storage should follow current product-specific instructions and the healthcare facility's validated protocols. Unverified sterilization temperatures, exposure times, or cycles should not replace approved processing instructions.
Select either the PS-8824 Medium 29cm or PS-8825 Long 38cm configuration when ordering. The product carries a 1-year warranty, has a minimum order quantity of one piece, and OEM service is available.
