The Alexis orthopaedic protector provides 360° of wound protection and circumferential atraumatic retraction. The Alexis protector shields soft tissue, including skin, fat, muscles and nerves from contact with sharp instrumentation and also maintains moisture at the wound margins. While distributing force evenly for optimal exposure to the joint capsule, the Alexis protector enhances the surgeon's visibility in limited working spaces. Offering ultimate versatility, the Alexis protector accommodates a wide range of orthopaedic procedures.
