Orthopedic Instruments Orthopedic Instruments (continued) Stifle Distractor Supplied by: Veterinary Instrumentation Designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle from the tibia. For the best exposure joint surfaces should move away from each other in a parallel fashion exposing The meniscus in its natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. Distractor is self-retaining. When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter the joint and reduce their profile for insertion into the joint. SKU# MFR# DESCRIPTION PKG 065714 001112XS 3mm-20mm Spread Each 065713 001112S 6mm-20mm Spread Each Stifle Instrumentation Supplied by: Veterinary Instrumentation The caudal surface of the stifle lever is contoured to fit the trochlea of large dogs. The load is dissipated over a large area minimizing trauma. The ring style handle is convenient for retraction by the surgeon using the thumb. The tip atraumatically hooks behind the caudal aspect of the tibial plateau. The stifle distractor is designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area. The spinlock is then engaged to powerfully open up the stifle joint. The distractor is self-retaining leaving the surgeon with two free hands to examine the meniscus and deal with any pathology. When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter the joint. Additionally the overlapping feature reduces the profile of the tips as they enter the joint.
