Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

The hook-shaped design elevates the soft palate and draws it forward, clearing away tissue that would otherwise block the surgeon's view into the pharyngeal cavity. This direct retraction creates an unobstructed operating field, allowing ENT specialists to access and operate on the tonsils, adenoids, and surrounding tissues with enhanced precision and confidence.

The "20mm wide" refers to the blade's horizontal dimension, which is larger than other variant sizes like 18mm, providing a broader surface area for holding delicate structures. The name honors the instrument's classic design that surgeons have relied on for decades in oral and ENT procedures requiring palatal manipulation.

The Lothrop design features a smooth, flat blade surface that distributes pressure evenly across the tissue, preventing trauma compared to retractors with sharper edges. Its ergonomic loop handle delivers superior control and stability during extended procedures, making it the preferred choice when gentle, reliable tissue management matters most.

Yes, it's manufactured from premium German stainless steel with a specially contoured blade that avoids sharp points or rough surfaces that could lacerate sensitive structures. The wide, rounded edge design ensures safe contact with the soft palate and surrounding mucosa, minimizing postoperative inflammation and discomfort.

Yes, medical professionals perform tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and palatal surgeries using appropriate retraction techniques with this instrument. However, proper sizing considerations and careful technique are essential in younger patients, as protocols stress preventing tongue swelling and airway compromise during pediatric throat operations.
