Clinical Application
Designed for otologic and temporal bone procedures, this retractor provides targeted exposure during mastoidectomy, cortical mastoid bone work, tympanomastoid surgery and posterior auricular approaches. The sharp tip allows secure engagement of periosteum, soft tissue edges or cortical bone for reliable retraction in a confined surgical field, helping maintain consistent exposure during microdissection and drilling.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's slim shaft and sharp working tip are optimized for use in narrow operative corridors typical of ear surgery. The sharp point is intended to anchor into soft tissue or to hook along bone margins, reducing slippage and minimizing the need for repeated repositioning. At 15 cm overall length, it provides sufficient reach for both superficial and deeper mastoid exposures while remaining manageable under magnification or with microscope assistance.
