It is used when initial incisions are made and maintains exposure of the hip area so the surgeon has an unobstructed view. This product is the weight and chain only, which are used to tilt the retractor 45 degrees, providing a greater view of the anterior side of the hip joint. The weight is approximately 4 pounds.
