Lombardi Surgical Retractor 23.5 cm (9.2)

Controlled Spreading with a Secure Ratcheting Grip

The Lombardi femoral tibial spreader is a large spreading instrument designed to help maintain separation during dental procedures that require working access between structures. Its 9 1/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the 22.0 mm x 13.0 mm outside cross-serrated blades are shaped for firm contact during positioning. The squeeze handle and ratchet support controlled handling, helping the operator maintain the selected spread without continuously applying hand pressure. This configuration can contribute to a more organized field and steadier instrument management when access and visibility are important. Its dedicated spreader design suits workflows requiring deliberate, adjustable separation rather than cutting or grasping.

Use Cases

• Apply controlled separation where a femoral tibial spreader is appropriate within a dental procedure.
• Use the 9 1/4-inch length when additional reach is useful for accessing the working area.
• Position the outside cross-serrated blades to support contact during spreading and instrument placement.
• Engage the squeeze-handle ratchet to help maintain the selected position during a task.
• Use the large configuration when the named 22.0 mm x 13.0 mm blade dimensions suit the required working area.
