Description

The Rollet/Blair Mini-Catspaw Retractor is a small tissue retractor for procedures where the surgeon needs to hold back skin or superficial soft tissue without using a larger instrument. It can be used in plastic, reconstructive, dermatologic, and hand surgery, including work such as scar revision, flap elevation, and facial procedures.

The working end has four semi-sharp prongs. Four points of contact help keep the tissue in position as it is retracted, rather than putting all the pull on one small area. The prongs can be placed into the edge of the tissue and used to create a little more room around the operative site while the surgeon works underneath.

At 13.5 cm (5″), the retractor is short enough to maneuver easily in a smaller surgical field. Its slim shaft takes up little space around the working end, which is useful when visibility matters. The lightweight construction also makes it easier to position and reposition the retractor during a procedure.

The four-prong arrangement is particularly handy when a stable hold is needed during flap elevation, scar revision, facial surgery, or other superficial soft tissue procedures. The surgeon can adjust the angle of the handle to change the direction of the retraction without bringing a bulky instrument into the field.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the retractor is intended for repeated surgical use. The material provides durability and corrosion resistance and is suitable for routine cleaning and sterilization. The prongs and shaft are checked for proper alignment and finish before the instrument is supplied.

With its four semi-sharp prongs, slim profile, and 13.5 cm length, the Rollet/Blair Mini-Catspaw Retractor is a practical option for controlled retraction when working in a small operative field.
