Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

Surgeons rely on this instrument primarily for rhinoplasty procedures to expose nasal tissues and reshape the nose, plus it's equally effective in blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facelift operations. The retractor also supports submucous resection, septoplasty, and endoscopic sinus procedures where gentle tissue manipulation is essential for optimal surgical outcomes.

The dual sharp prongs create a wider grip span across delicate nasal and facial tissues, allowing surgeons to secure and retract a larger area of skin simultaneously while maintaining precise control. These sharpened hooks penetrate tissue efficiently without slipping, providing the stability needed during intricate procedures where precision and clear visualization matter most.

Unlike single-hook designs, this double-pronged instrument delivers bilateral tissue retraction with a 12mm spread, exposing significantly more surgical area in one motion. While basic hooks work on minimal contact points, the Cottle design's wider configuration and dual-prong system make it specially engineered for facial surgery's delicate requirements.

Absolutely, this German surgical stainless steel instrument is fully autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization cycles without losing function or durability. Medical facilities can sterilize it using standard steam autoclaving methods, making it an economical, long-lasting instrument backed by lifetime warranties against manufacturing defects.

Yes, cosmetic rhinoplasty surgeons regularly employ this retractor to refine nasal tips, reshape nasal bridges, and correct minor deformities while maintaining aesthetic results.
