Description
Bennett Bone Lever
The Bennett bone lever is a broad retractor that holds back heavy muscle around large joints. Its wide blade spreads pressure, so it protects tissue while it holds.
Built for big exposures
Large joints sit under thick muscle layers. Therefore a narrow lever can cut in or slip. By contrast, the broad Bennett blade holds a large mass steadily.
Two widths
Pick a 43 mm or 60 mm blade. The 43 mm version suits smaller patients and tighter spaces. Meanwhile, the 60 mm version handles large muscle groups.
Where the Bennett bone lever helps
Hip replacement teams use it to expose the acetabulum and femur. It also helps in knee and shoulder surgery. In addition, trauma surgeons use it around the pelvis.
Working with assistants
A broad lever needs steady holding. So brief the assistant on the direction of pull. As a result, the view stays open without sudden shifts.
Broad blades and soft tissue
Because the blade is wide, pressure spreads over a larger area. As a result, muscle is less likely to bruise or tear. Even so, releasing the lever now and then during long steps remains good practice.

Upkeep
Scrub both faces of the wide blade after the case. Once dry, lay it flat in the tray. Look for warping, since a bent blade holds unevenly.
Choosing your lever
Clinics receive three years against manufacturing defects for each lever as standard. Each lever goes through a careful examination at our Atlanta office before we post it. Other tools live in our orthopedic listings. Compare it with the Hohmann lever. The buyer FAQ covers payment questions. FDA listings include ASTM F899 as the benchmark for medical-grade stainless steel. Want a bulk price? Email our team before you order. Most hospitals keep a spare lever to avoid delays.
