Spreaders for Knee Surgery

Spreaders for knee surgery are used on the femur, tibia, and other anatomical structures to provide a clear surgical field. Typically, practitioners and orthopaedic surgeons use them during realignment, fracture repair, and total knee arthroplasty. Obtaining high-grade spreaders for knee surgery ensures controlled movements with easy manipulation. Grey Medical believes in supplying high-grade surgical tools for on-field convenience. Our spreaders for knee surgery are a favourite among surgeons and practitioners. 

What Makes Grey Medical’s Spreader for Knee Surgery Stand Out?

Grey Medical’s spreaders are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to ease of manipulation. Surgeons prefer using these for their locking mechanisms and ergonomic designs. Furthermore, we offer different size variations to suit different anatomical requirements. 

Features of Spreaders

Our knee spreaders should be preferred for the following features: 

• Variation in Size: Orthopaedic surgical fields have different anatomical structures. Therefore, our spreaders are available in different sizes and configurations, such as deep, small, medium, and large.
• Self-Retaining Mechanism: Keeping the hands free during surgery reduces the risks of developing surgical strain. Our spreaders come with locking mechanisms to facilitate surgeons. 
• Controlled Expansion: Our spreaders offer controlled expansion to keep manipulation under check. Typically, this allows the practitioner to open up the bones to the desired width and length. 

Spreaders for Knee Surgery: Different Types

Different spreaders for knee surgery perform different functions. A brief overview is given: 

Femoral Tibial Spreaders: During total knee replacement surgery, practitioners use these to distance the femur from the tibia. This allows appropriate ligament tensioning. 

Spreader for Bones: Surgeons know these as ortho spreaders. Usually, practitioners use these to separate bone segments during fracture reduction procedures.

Tensioning Device along with a Ratchet Bar: During bone reconstruction surgeries, practitioners require a controlled source to put pressure on the cables involved. Tensioning devices help a great deal at this juncture. 

Wound Retractors: Sometimes, instruments like the Weitlaner retractor help a great deal in distancing, especially when ligaments are involved. 

Calibrated Spreaders for Measurement: As the name specifies, these come with scaled markings on the rib of the instrument. Once administered, this helps measure the depth to which the bones have been separated. Furthermore, measuring the depth helps balance the ligaments during surgery.
