11-1044-24

43mm24.5 cm, 9 1/2" Wider blades change the pressure equation. The 11-1044-24 carries a 43 mm blade on a 24.5 cm (9½”) shaft, spreading contact across a broader surface so soft tissue and bone edges experience less localized stress. That width combined with the extended length makes the instrument especially useful in hip and larger joint exposures where visibility depends on solid, stable retraction. The long shaft keeps the handle clear of the incision, giving assistants and camera systems more room to work. High-grade surgical stainless steel keeps the blade rigid under load and the surface finish intact after repeated autoclaving. The transition from blade to shaft is continuous and smooth, reducing opportunities for tissue or suture to catch. Practical features that show up in daily use: 43 mm blade for distributed pressure 24.5 cm length for deeper fields Clear handle positioning outside the wound Robust construction for heavy clinical demand This Hohmann-style elevator sits among core BONE SURGERY INSTRUMENTS that support larger orthopedic exposures. Surgeons who need both reach and width reach for this model when narrower blades cannot provide adequate holding power. It is not a delicate dissection tool; it is a workhorse retractor built for the demands of joint and trauma surgery. The proportions deliver leverage without forcing the operator into awkward positions, and the materials hold up under the sterilization cycles that high-volume hospitals require. Teams that maintain a range of blade widths find this 43 mm version fills a critical gap between mid-size and extra-wide options.
