Product Specifications

Common Surgical Applications

The Browne Deltoid Retractor is primarily used where controlled retraction of the deltoid muscle and surrounding soft tissues is required to improve surgical exposure. Depending on surgeon preference and procedure requirements, it may be used during:

• Shoulder surgery
• Deltopectoral surgical approaches
• Proximal humerus procedures
• Shoulder fracture fixation
• Rotator cuff procedures
• Shoulder arthroplasty procedures
• Upper-limb orthopedic surgery
• Procedures requiring deep soft-tissue retraction around the shoulder joint

Designed for Controlled Shoulder Exposure

The Browne pattern is specifically designed to assist with exposure around the deltoid and shoulder region. Its broad curved working end distributes retraction over a wider tissue area, while the long shaft provides access to deeper anatomical structures. This configuration makes the instrument particularly useful during orthopedic procedures requiring stable and controlled surgical exposure.

Cleaning & Sterilization

This is a reusable surgical instrument. The instrument should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected, disinfected, and sterilized before use and after every surgical procedure according to the healthcare facility's validated reprocessing protocol. Inspect the blade, handle, shaft, and instrument surface before each use and discontinue use if damage, corrosion, deformation, or excessive wear is identified.
