The Smith & Nephew Guhl Ankle Distractor is a surgical system for creating space in the ankle joint for procedures like arthroscopy. The system typically includes a disposable ankle stirrup, a support bar, a table attachment, and a distraction device that applies precise, controlled longitudinal traction to the ankle to provide optimum views of the joint. This allows surgeons to access all portals easily and perform procedures like ankle arthroscopy, arthrodesis, and ligament repairs.
