Contours large-diameter spinal rods and reconstruction plates on the back table before implantation in adult spinal deformity surgery. The heavy-duty bending irons apply controlled torque to stainless rods up to 5.5 mm diameter to match thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. Scrub technicians use them to make in-plane bends that align rod seating across multi-level pedicle screw constructs.

Retracts soft tissue and muscle from the femoral shaft and acetabular rim during total hip arthroplasty and open reduction of femoral neck fractures. The curved Hohmann blade hooks over the greater trochanter to expose the proximal femur for broaching and stem insertion. Orthopedic surgeons use multiple sizes to retract the gluteus medius during the anterolateral approach.
