Clinical Application
Designed to provide focused retraction and tissue exposure in small or confined operative fields. The sharp-point geometry permits a precise hook or hold on soft tissue margins, aiding visualization and access during delicate procedures where broad, flat blades would be impractical. Suitable for use in ophthalmic, ENT, plastic/reconstructive and other microsurgical settings where controlled, localized retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s short 10 cm length and sharp tip concentrate retraction force at a small contact point, which allows the surgeon to manipulate tissue with fine control and limited obstruction of the surgical field. The sharp configuration is intended to grip tissue securely without requiring large countertraction; however, it requires deliberate handling to avoid inadvertent tissue puncture. The compact profile supports single-operator use and precise placement in shallow or narrow anatomy.
Instrument Specifications
