Dodson Modular Retractor – Set
Mark A. Dodson, MD
Designed to help expose a small to medium size bone for internal fixation—can be used for distal radius, ulna, humerus, and fibula fractures
Allows the limb to be rotated (pronated or supinated) without loss of exposure. The hohmann retractors have three hole sizes which allow for a variety of positioning angle options using the teeth of the self-retaining retractor, or can also be positioned in-between the teeth. The hohmann is placed around the bone, and thus reduces the force on the soft tissues while increasing exposure. Can be used in the forearm to treat radius and ulna shaft fractures, humerus fractures, as well as in the leg for fibula fractures.
The optional radiolucent blade is made of a strong, lightweight carbon fiber PEEK composite material, which is completely radiolucent, helps to prevent from marring component surfaces, and can be steam sterilized.

Accuracy Statement for devices with a measuring function: Devices with a measuring function are considered non-critical, non-calibrated, and are intended for reference-only measurements. While it provides a helpful visual guide for relative measurements, it is not calibrated to specific precision standards. Measurements taken with this device should not be considered accurate enough for critical applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances. General manufacturing tolerances of +\- 1% at each graduation, or 2% of the full scale apply, but no conformance qualifications are provided or implied.
