Lombardi Gap Balancing Femoral Tibial Spreader – Small with Locking Mechanism and Smooth Pads
Adolph V. Lombardi Jr., MD. Smooth pad design modified by Mojieb Manzary, MD, FRCSC
Designed to help separate the femur and tibia during total knee procedures, with the pads being parallel when measured at 20mm of separation
Locking ratchet mechanism helps prevent accidental release, and provides for controlled adjustment and easy release.
The measuring scale on the spreader handle helps to accurately gauge the gap, and makes it possible for two spreaders to be used to assist in balancing ligaments.

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.
