State-of-the-Art Surgical Instruments for Outpatient Joint Replacement

Surgical Disposables

Operativ top-of-the-line pins are used in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) and Uni Knee Replacements (UKR) to effectively stabilize and hold cutting blocks to bone. (Lindsay, et al., Sources of Error in Total Knee Replacement: The Use of Standard Fixation Pins vs Precision Pins for Placement of Cutting Blocks) These pins eliminate many errors inherent in traditional surgical methods. 

Universal Pins

Instruments

Retractors

The MIS retractors are designed specifically for the tibial anatomy and to protect the MCL, PCL, vascular structures and the Posterior Lateral Complex.   Blunted tips provide the ability to fit around the proximal tibia for ease of use and protection from piercing the bone, while contoured edges are soft tissue friendly.

  • Blunt round tips mimic a periosteal elevator and protect the bone.
  • The bent retractor allows the assistant’s hand to be out of the way of the surgeon.
  • The tip angle of the straight retractor slides perfectly down the back of the tibia to protect the PCL and posterior vascular structures.
