Orthopaedic Retractor Sets

We understand that ordering new orthopaedic retractor sets can often be confusing. Hospitals, surgical departments, and individual consultants frequently have very specific preferences when it comes to retractor types, lengths, blade styles, or configurations, which can complicate the decision-making process. To simplify this, we have drawn on our experience working closely with orthopaedic teams to put together example sets that reflect the most commonly used and trusted retractors for a variety of orthopaedic procedures. 

Our orthopaedic retractor sets are designed to provide optimal exposure, control, and stability during bone and joint surgery. The first example set includes large and deep retractors, such as a 22 mm × 420 mm anterior hip retractor, providing broad exposure of the hip region, plus Inferior acetabular retractors (400 mm × 22 mm) for deep access around the acetabulum. It also includes a Charnley initial incision retractor frame, combined with long and short blades (50 mm deep) and a weight and chain to maintain consistent retraction during the initial surgical approach.

A second example set offers a more focused Charnley-only configuration, including the frame, two different blade depths (short and long), a weight, and a chain, ideal for teams who want a compact but highly functional retractor system.

Each instrument in these sets is selected for robust surgical performance and durability, helping surgeons maintain stable and reliable exposure throughout complex orthopaedic operations. Whether your team is working on the hip, pelvis, or other deep-tissue areas, these retractor sets are structured to meet the needs of demanding surgical environments.
