Frequently asked questions
Is this retractor suitable for procedures beyond laminectomy?
Yes, while primarily designed for laminectomy and spinal decompression, its robust design makes it highly versatile for various orthopedic procedures, including the distraction of joint spaces in the:
- Knee
- Foot/Ankle
- Hand/Wrist
How does the ratcheting mechanism ensure surgeon control?
The instrument features a bar ratchet system paired with a dual-spring, plier-style handle. This combination allows the surgeon to achieve highly controlled and incremental distraction, ensuring the tool remains securely locked at the desired width throughout the procedure.
Are the teeth on the jaws designed for heavy-duty gripping?
Absolutely. The curved jaws are specifically outfitted with a 4x4 tooth configuration. This design is engineered to provide superior anchorage and a stable, high-friction grip on bony fragments or tissue, preventing slippage during critical moments of the surgery.
Is this instrument built to withstand repeated sterilization?
Yes. This retractor is constructed from high-quality, durable stainless steel specifically intended for professional, reusable surgical applications. It is designed to withstand the rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocols required in clinical environments.
Is natural rubber latex used in its construction?
No. The Sklar Inge Laminectomy Retractor is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients and staff with latex sensitivities.
Does this tool meet federal trade compliance standards?
Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets the regulatory standards required for procurement in many government and institutional medical settings.
What is the total length of this spreader?
The instrument measures 6-1/2 inches in total length. This size is optimized for ergonomic handling while providing sufficient reach for spinal and orthopedic decompression tasks.
Is this product considered new upon arrival?
Yes, all units are Factory New. We ensure that every instrument is delivered in pristine, unused condition, ready for standard medical sterilization procedures before its first use.

Sklar stands behind the precision and durability of this instrument with a lifetime warranty. This reflects the high manufacturing standards and the confidence in its longevity within busy surgical theaters.
Does the design prioritize comfort during extended use?
