Cottle Neivert retractor d/e 20cm

Clinical Application

This double‑ended ENT retractor is intended to provide controlled, atraumatic exposure of intranasal structures during septoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and ancillary sinus procedures. The instrument assists the primary surgeon or assistant in maintaining consistent soft‑tissue retraction of the nasal vestibule, lateral nasal wall and septal mucosa to improve visualization, allow accurate instrument placement and protect delicate mucosal surfaces during dissection.

Design & Configuration

The double‑ended layout offers two complementary retraction profiles on a single instrument, enabling rapid adaptation to confined or broader operative corridors without exchanging instruments. The 20 cm overall length provides adequate reach for nasal and paranasal exposure while maintaining ergonomic control for both surgeon and assistant. The slender shaft and purpose‑shaped blade geometry minimize obstruction of the surgical field and permit atraumatic retraction of mucosa and soft tissue.
