Procedure of Cleaning

The serrated blade provides superior grip on bone surfaces, preventing slippage during distraction procedures and ensuring stable, controlled spreading of bone fragments. This textured design allows surgeons to maintain precise positioning even when working with blood or fluids present in the surgical field. The serrations distribute pressure evenly across the contact area, reducing the risk of blade migration and improving overall surgical safety.

This spreader is primarily used in foot and ankle surgeries, particularly during calcaneal osteotomies, fracture repairs, and hindfoot reconstructions where bone distraction is needed. Orthopedic surgeons also utilize it for tarsal bone procedures, calcaneal lengthening operations, and corrective surgeries addressing flatfoot deformities. The instrument's compact 3 3/4" size makes it ideal for accessing tight surgical spaces in foot and ankle anatomy.

While this spreader is specifically designed for calcaneal (heel bone) procedures, its controlled 1 1/4" opening capacity allows surgeons to work safely on moderately-sized bones with precision. The thru-hole for 1.3mm wire fixation provides additional stability, reducing stress on bone tissue during distraction. However, for very small or fragile bones like those in the hand or pediatric cases, smaller specialized spreaders would be more appropriate.

Surgeons control distraction force through gradual, incremental adjustments using the instrument's handle mechanism, allowing slow and measured bone separation at each step. The 6mm serrated blade provides tactile feedback, letting the surgeon feel resistance and avoid excessive force that could fracture the bone. Many experienced surgeons also use direct visualization or intraoperative fluoroscopy to monitor bone separation and ensure safe, therapeutic pressure is being applied throughout the procedure.

After each use, thoroughly clean the instrument with enzymatic detergent to remove all blood, tissue, and bone debris, paying special attention to the serrated blade and thru-hole areas. Rinse completely with distilled water, then sterilize using autoclaving at standard surgical tool settings (typically 132°C for 4 minutes or 121°C for 15-20 minutes). Regular inspection for damage or wear should be performed during the cleaning process to ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness.
