Femoral Tibial Spreader with Measuring Scale – Small with Coated Pads
Helps separate the femur and tibia during total knee replacement surgery
Designed to remain in position, with the femur and tibia separated, without the need of an assistant, and to minimize crushing the bone, even if osteoporotic. A wide unobstructed view of the posterior compartment is possible. Osteophytes on the posterior condyles of the femur and tibia can be seen and removed. The measuring scale on the spreader handle makes it possible for two spreaders to be used to assist the surgeon in balancing ligaments.
The coated spreader is designed to separate the femur and tibia when implant components are in place. This is helpful in checking the back of the knee joint for cement, etc. The pads are coated to keep from scratching component surfaces and are slightly contoured to add stability against the curved articulating surfaces.
