11-1081-18 | Fukuda Style Shoulder Retractor
Exposure around the shoulder can change quickly as the surgeon moves between approaches,
which makes a purpose-specific retractor valuable. The 11-1081-18 Fukuda Style Shoulder
Retractor measures 18 cm (7 inches) and is supplied with small and large blade options. The
smaller blade measures 32 mm wide by 81 mm long, while the larger version measures 38 mm
wide by 81 mm long. These dimensions give the surgical team a choice between a more
focused and a broader retraction surface. It can be included with bone surgery instruments for orthopedic and shoulder procedures.
The Fukuda style is associated with shoulder exposure, where maintaining a clear operative
field often depends on holding soft tissue away from the surgical site without occupying
unnecessary space. Blade size becomes important because the required contact area can vary
with patient anatomy and the exposure being established.
● Small blade, 32 x 81 mm: Provides a narrower contact surface for more localized
retraction.
● Large blade, 38 x 81 mm: Offers greater width when broader tissue displacement is
required.
● 18 cm overall length: Provides a practical reach for shoulder procedures while
remaining manageable within the operative field.
● Two blade choices: Helps the team select the retractor according to the exposure
rather than relying on one fixed size.
For orthopedic facilities performing shoulder surgery, having both blade configurations available
can simplify instrument selection during case setup. The instrument adds a dedicated option for
maintaining exposure when a broader hand-held retractor is not appropriate. Add the Fukuda
Style Shoulder Retractor to your orthopedic set.
