Total Joint Surgery

“I use the Thompson retractor for all knee replacements.”

“The Thompson Retractor is extremely helpful and allows for easy and safe exposure with one assistant.”

“Thompson’s retractors are held more stably and have more versatility than an assistant.”

“The Thompson Retractor is multifunctional for supine and lateral positioning – posterior, direct anterior, lateral approach. It helps in all of them.”

“Thompson did it again…the blades are perfect!”

“The success of outpatient total hip arthroplasty will depend upon orthopaedic autonomy in the ASC. The Thompson hip system is a simple solution that provides consistent and reproducible exposure. It is cost-effective and creates more OR space by minimizing personnel. It is ‘a must have’ for outpatient THA.”

“Thompson did it again…perfect!”

“The Thompson Hip System has an elegant design that optimizes the synergy between instrumentation and surgical technique allowing unimpeded visualization while performing muscle sparing ( or minimally invasive ) total hip arthroplasty.”

“By improving the direct visualization of the native landmarks during Direct Anterior Approach THA, the Thompson Hip Retractor System provides the surgeon with improved confidence for consistent, accurate component placement.”

“Use of the Thompson Hip System has increased efficiency and decreased operating time in our department.”

“I use the Thompson System for every hip case. It has been the most notable advancement the last two years in my orthopedic practice. I would never go back to the way it was done before.”

“We believe the use of the Thompson System has improved our patient outcomes. The system is able to create much more consistent, non-traumatic tension on the retracted muscles. Intra-operative tears of the Tensor fascia latae in the direct anterior approach have reduced significantly following the introduction of the Thompson.”
