Clinical Application
This 3-prong Ollier retractor is designed for controlled soft-tissue retraction in confined or superficial operative fields. It is commonly used to maintain exposure of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and small deeper structures during hand and wrist procedures, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT cases, and other small-joint or digit operations where a compact, low-profile retractor facilitates visualization without intruding on the surgical field. Its size and prong arrangement are suited to holding soft tissue edges apart while the surgeon works with fine instruments or under magnification.
Design & Configuration
The three-prong configuration provides a triangular footprint that stabilizes tissue retraction and reduces the need for frequent repositioning. The 36 x 30 mm working surface defines the area of tissue engagement, offering a balance between surface coverage and minimal obstruction of the operative view. At 22.5 cm overall length, the instrument delivers sufficient reach for deeper small-field exposures while remaining manageable for single‑handed manipulation and precise retraction near delicate structures.
