Calcaneal Spreader with Smooth Pads – 15 × 12 mm, 18 cm / 7"

The Calcaneal Spreader with Smooth Pads is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled distraction and separation during calcaneal and foot surgery procedures. It features broad 15 × 12 mm smooth spreading pads and an overall length of 18 cm / 7 inches, providing surgeons with a compact and controlled instrument for orthopedic applications involving the calcaneus.

The smooth-pad configuration provides a broad contact surface at the working end of the instrument. This design is particularly useful when controlled spreading of bone surfaces is required while distributing contact across a defined pad area.

Smooth 15 × 12 mm Spreading Pads

The working end of this calcaneal bone spreader incorporates smooth pads measuring 15 × 12 mm. The broad pad surfaces provide a defined area of contact during controlled distraction procedures.

Compared with grooved or aggressively textured pad designs, the smooth-pad configuration provides a different working surface option for surgeons selecting an instrument according to the surgical technique, bone condition, and procedural requirements.

Designed for Calcaneal & Foot Surgery

A calcaneal spreader is used in orthopedic procedures where controlled separation or distraction of calcaneal bone surfaces is required. It can be particularly relevant during calcaneal osteotomy and reconstructive foot surgery where the surgeon requires access or space between prepared bone surfaces.

The broad spreading pads can assist with controlled opening of the surgical site according to the surgeon's selected technique and clinical requirements.

18 cm / 7" Overall Length

With an overall length of 18 cm / approximately 7 inches, this spreader provides a compact profile for controlled instrument handling.

The length allows the surgeon to maintain direct control of the spreading mechanism while positioning the smooth pads within the operative area.

Applications & Usage

The 18 cm Calcaneal Spreader with Smooth Pads is intended for professional orthopedic applications that require controlled bone distraction or separation. Potential applications include:

• Calcaneal surgery
• Calcaneal osteotomy procedures
• Foot and ankle surgery
• Orthopedic reconstructive procedures
• Controlled calcaneal bone distraction
• Preparation of space between osteotomized bone surfaces
• Procedures involving placement or positioning of bone graft material, where clinically appropriate

The exact application, degree of distraction, instrument positioning, and suitability of the spreader should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the procedure and patient anatomy.

Why Choose the Smooth-Pad Calcaneal Spreader?

This instrument combines 15 × 12 mm smooth spreading pads with a manageable 18 cm / 7" overall length. These clearly defined dimensions make it a useful option for orthopedic surgical sets requiring a dedicated calcaneal distraction instrument.

The smooth-pad version also provides an alternative for surgeons comparing smooth and grooved spreading surfaces for different operative techniques.

Care & Handling

• Inspect the spreading pads, joints, handles, and working mechanism before use.
• Ensure the smooth pad surfaces are clean and free from visible damage.
• Check that the spreading mechanism moves smoothly and operates as intended.
• Do not use the instrument if the pads, joint, or handles are bent, damaged, loose, or otherwise compromised.
• Clean and process the instrument according to applicable validated surgical instrument reprocessing instructions.
• Store appropriately after processing to protect the working surfaces and mechanism.
