The blunt tips of these versatile instruments may be used to lever the humeral head distally, exposing the elusive underside of the acromion. Sweep them under the rotator cuff to free adhesions in blunt dissections. Use of acromial levers provides access to the rotator cuff, the subacromial bursa and the coracoacromial ligaments. Originally introduced as part of Buxton's shoulder repair line, the versatile Darrach levers may be helpful in other procedures of the upper and lower extremities.

The blunt, tongue-depressor like tips are used to retract both bone and tissue masses providing excellent exposure for a variety of joint repair/replacement procedures. They can also be used as an extension of the surgeons finger during blunt dissections to free periosteal attachments and bursal adhesions.

Offered in four widths and two lengths, these finely crafted instruments distinguish themselves with deeply milled serrations found on the convex side of their subtly undulated distal end. This combination of features prevents slippage, while minimizing trauma to the surrounding soft tissue structures.

Sold individually or as a set of four.
