Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

This instrument gently holds back the outer fleshy portion of the nose, creating a clear operative field so surgeons can see and access nasal structures with greater precision. The blunt ends safely secure tissues aside, allowing complete visualization of cartilage and skeletal anatomy during reshaping procedures.

The surgeon positions the retractor to hold back alar tissues by placing either the 10mm or 14mm end against the desired area, then adjusts leverage using the perforated handle for optimal retraction strength. The key is gentle, steady positioning to avoid tissue trauma while maintaining clear access to the operative area throughout the procedure.

Plastic surgeons, facial surgeons, and ENT specialists primarily use this tool during nose reshaping work and functional nasal procedures. Rhinoplasty surgeons especially rely on it to expose the nasal tip, cartilage, and structural elements they need to modify for both aesthetic and breathing improvements.

Yes, the dual 10mm and 14mm openings accommodate varying nostril widths and alar sizes across different patients, eliminating the need for multiple instruments. Surgeons choose the appropriate end based on individual nose anatomy, allowing one versatile tool to work effectively for diverse facial structures and surgical needs.

Yes, its compact, blunt tips and slim profile make it suitable for small incisions and precision work. It enhances exposure in both traditional and less invasive nasal surgeries.
