Clinical Application
Designed to provide direct exposure of the bladder neck during open urologic procedures. The instrument facilitates atraumatic separation of the bladder neck and adjacent tissues to improve visualization for dissection, hemostasis and suture placement in procedures such as retropubic and transvesical prostatectomy, bladder neck reconstruction, and urethrovesical anastomosis.
Design & Configuration
The Millin pattern uses two opposing blades that deliver controlled bilateral separation of tissue. The low-profile blade geometry and broad contact surfaces distribute retraction forces to reduce focal pressure on the bladder neck while maintaining a clear line of sight to the operative field. The handheld configuration allows the assistant or surgeon to modulate tension dynamically during critical steps such as apical dissection and anastomotic suturing.
