Smillie Bone Levers

Description

Smillie Bone Levers

The Smillie bone lever is a compact, 14 cm retractor with a choice of blade sizes. It holds tissue clear in knee and small joint surgery.

A knee surgery name

Ian Smillie wrote widely on knee surgery, and several knee instruments carry the name. Moreover, this lever suits open knee work and smaller joints. Its short body keeps it out of the way.

Five blade sizes

Blades measure 13 x 12, 32 x 19, 48 x 19, 52 x 13 or 57 x 19 mm. So you can pick a short, square blade or a long, narrow one. Furthermore, each shape suits a different space.

Who uses the Smillie bone lever

Knee surgeons use it during meniscus and ligament work. Also, hand and foot surgeons use the small blades. Besides, it suits elbow and ankle surgery as well.

Choosing blades

Short blades fit shallow spaces. However, long blades reach deeper behind bone. In addition, many surgeons keep two or three sizes together.

Short body advantages

At only 14 cm, the lever leaves room for other instruments around the joint. Moreover, an assistant can hold it with a light grip. As a result, the field stays uncluttered.
