Stifle Distractor for Veterinary Use – Premium Quality from Veterinary Instrumentation, UK

Product Overview: The Stifle Distractor is a specialized veterinary instrument designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle joint from the tibia, ensuring optimal exposure of joint surfaces for precise examination. This tool is essential for veterinarians conducting procedures where clear visualization of the meniscus in its natural state is required, with minimal distortion. The Stifle Distractor is available in four sizes, accommodating various animal sizes and surgical needs.

Key Features:

• Parallel Joint Separation: The Stifle Distractor ensures that the joint surfaces move apart in a parallel manner, providing an unobstructed view of the meniscus. This minimizes any distortion caused by the examination, allowing for accurate assessment and intervention.
• Self-Retaining Mechanism: Once the optimal distraction point is identified, the spinlock mechanism securely holds the joint open, facilitating a hands-free operation.
• Atraumatic Tip Design: The overlapping tip design minimizes the risk of iatrogenic damage as the instrument is inserted into the joint space. This feature reduces the profile of the tips, making the device safe and efficient for use in delicate stifle joint procedures.
• Precise Positioning:
  • One tip is positioned in the intercondylar notch.
  • The other tip is placed on the cranial intercondylar area.
  • Care is taken to avoid involving the articular cartilage, ensuring a safe and effective procedure.
