Controlled Alar Retraction with a Tapered, Insulated Blade
The Cottle alar retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to draw alar tissue aside and support exposure during general surgical handling. Its 5 3/4-inch length provides a practical reach for controlled positioning, while the tapered blade transitions from 16.0 mm to 13.0 mm to accommodate focused access along the retraction area. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip for positioning and adjustment, and the insulated blade design is suited to workflows requiring an insulated instrument surface. This compact configuration supports deliberate tissue retraction where access and visualization are important to the operative task.
Use Cases
- Retracting alar tissue to help maintain access to the working area.
- Supporting controlled exposure during procedures involving the nasal or alar region.
- Using the tapered blade profile when access conditions call for a broader-to-narrower retraction surface.
- Positioning and adjusting the instrument through its flat handle during general surgical workflows.
