stifle distractors

Designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle from the tibia. For the best exposure joint surfaces should move away from each other in a parallel fashion exposing The meniscus in its natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. Distractor is self-retaining. When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter the joint and reduce their profile for insertion into the joint.

Designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle from the tibia. For the best exposure joint surfaces should move away from each other in a parallel fashion exposing The meniscus in its natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. Positioning: • One tip is placed in the intercondylar notch • The other on the cranial intercondylar area. • Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. • Test distractions (by squeezing the handles) to find the exact point at which a full distraction will expose the meniscus. • Engage the spinlock to open the joint. Distractor is self-retaining. When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter the joint and reduce their profile for insertion into the joint.
