11-1046-28

33mm 28cm, 11" When the exposure is large, and the soft-tissue envelope is thick, the 11-1046-28 answers with a 33 mm blade and a full 28 cm (11”) length. This is an instrument designed for robust retraction rather than fine dissection. The wide blade spreads force across a substantial area, while the extended shaft keeps the handle well clear of the surgical site so assistants can work without interference. Operators notice the solid leverage and predictable response when elevating bone or holding muscle groups aside. Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel, the elevator maintains its geometry under load and survives the sterilization demands of high-volume theaters. The surface stays smooth, supporting thorough cleaning and reducing tissue adherence. What the numbers mean in practice: 33 mm blade for broad pressure distribution 28 cm overall length for maximum reach High rigidity under clinical loads Continuous design that simplifies processing This longer, wider model belongs among the heavier-duty BONE SURGERY INSTRUMENTS reserved for complex hip work and cases with significant soft-tissue mass. It is not intended for every procedure; it is selected when the field demands both width and reach that smaller elevators cannot supply. Surgical teams that maintain a tiered set of retractors place this instrument at the upper end of their range, knowing it will deliver the holding power required when anatomy and soft-tissue volume challenge standard tools. The construction prioritizes strength and reliability over delicate feel, making it a dependable choice for demanding orthopedic exposures.
