Uses & Applications

The Calcaneal Bone Spreader is designed to assist trained orthopedic professionals when controlled distraction or separation of calcaneal bone is required. The broad 15 × 12 mm pads provide a substantial contact area while the spring handle and spreading mechanism allow controlled adjustment of the instrument.

Calcaneal spreaders are commonly incorporated into orthopedic instrument sets for procedures involving the calcaneus, including situations where controlled separation of osteotomized bone may be required during preparation for bone graft placement.

• Calcaneal orthopedic procedures
• Foot and ankle surgery
• Calcaneal osteotomy procedures
• Controlled bone distraction
• Bone graft preparation procedures where an appropriate spreader is required
• Small-bone orthopedic procedures
• Trauma and reconstructive surgery
• Hospital and orthopedic operating-room instrument sets

Smooth Pads vs. Grooved Pads

Both variants have the same 18 cm overall length and 15 × 12 mm pad dimensions. The primary difference is the surface design of the spreading pads.

Grooved Pads – SM11-0840-18

The grooved pad configuration provides a textured contact surface. This design may be selected when the surgical technique or instrument preference calls for a grooved interface with the working area.

Smooth Pads – SM11-0839-18

The smooth pad configuration provides a flat contact surface and may be selected when a smooth spreading interface is preferred.

Select the required Pad Type from the available product options before adding the instrument to your cart.

15 × 12 mm Spreading Pads

The broad 15 × 12 mm pads provide a relatively large contact surface for controlled orthopedic spreading. The pad dimensions are designed to provide contact with the working bone surface while the surgeon regulates the amount of distraction through the instrument's adjustment mechanism.

Controlled Spreading Mechanism

The Calcaneal Spreader incorporates a spring-assisted handle arrangement together with an adjustable mechanism. This configuration allows the jaws to open in a controlled manner and helps the user maintain the selected degree of spreading according to the surgical technique being performed.

Designed for Orthopedic Surgical Use

With its compact 18 cm (7") profile, specialized pad design, and controlled spreading action, this instrument is suitable for professional orthopedic departments, foot and ankle surgical sets, trauma centers, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities requiring calcaneal or small-bone distraction instruments.
