Sklar Aufranc Cobra Retractor, Smooth Blunt
A 10-1/4 inch cobra shaped retractor with a smooth blunt tip, used by orthopedic surgeons to hold back soft tissue during hip surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Aufranc Cobra Retractor is a curved orthopedic retractor measuring 10-1/4 inches overall, with a smooth blunt tip shaped like a cobra's head to hold back muscle and soft tissue during hip and other major joint surgery. Its blunt profile is designed to protect surrounding soft tissue and neurovascular structures while still providing firm, stable retraction of the surgical field, which is important during procedures such as total hip replacement where clear exposure of the acetabulum and femoral head is required.
This retractor comes in a small range of configurations, giving the surgical team the option to match the blade to the depth and angle needed for a particular approach. Cobra retractors of this pattern are standard instruments in orthopedic hip sets, used by orthopedic and joint replacement surgeons in general hospitals and dedicated orthopedic centres.
Being a solid, single piece retractor, it is built for repeated sterilization and long service life across a high volume of joint procedures.
