Product Overview
Henner Endaural Retractor 4 3/4" enables otologists and neurotologists to maintain wide exposure of the external auditory canal and mastoid cortex cleanly during middle ear procedures. Designed to seat within an endaural incision, its outward-curving sharp or blunt prongs engage soft tissue margins firmly without causing local ischemic necrosis. The adjustable screw-lock mechanism regulates spreading tension progressively, providing secure, self-retaining retraction that keeps the operative axis clear under surgical microscopes.
Key Features:
• German stainless steel provides corrosion-free strength
• Self-retaining thumb-screw mechanism locks blades securely at desired widths
• Outward-angled prongs provide non-slip traction on fibrous and cartilaginous margins
• Compact 4 3/4" frame stays low to the surgical field without blocking microscopic visualization
Uses & Applications:
• Retracting soft tissue and periosteum during endaural tympanoplasties
• Exposing the mastoid cortex and facial ridge during mastoidectomy procedures
• Maintaining wide, hands-free canal exposure during meatoplasty and stapedectomy
