Lombardi Gap Balancing Femoral Tibial Spreader – Small with Small Grip Handle and Grooved Pads
Adolph V. Lombardi Jr., MD
Designed to help separate the femur and tibia during total knee procedures, with the pads being parallel when measured at 20mm of separation
The Small Grip Handle is designed with the grip closer together for easier gripping and to help reduce hand fatigue.
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.
