The Posterior Glenoid Neck Retractor is a surgical instrument used during shoulder surgeries to provide exposure to the glenoid, a part of the shoulder blade.
Features:
Designed for one-finger retraction, allowing for greater control and flexibility for the surgeon.
Contoured blade with teeth fits behind the glenoid to retract soft tissues and improve access.
Typically used in procedures like osteotomy of the humeral head (surgical removal of part of the upper arm bone) and other approaches to the glenoid.
Benefits:
Improves visualization of the surgical field for the surgeon.
Minimizes soft tissue disruption.
May lead to faster operative times and improved patient outcomes.
Variations:
Different manufacturers may offer slight variations in size, design, and material.
