Description

The Kilner Catspaw Retractor – Miniature Pattern is a versatile double-ended surgical retractor designed for delicate soft tissue retraction during plastic, reconstructive, dermatologic, and hand surgery procedures. Its dual-ended configuration provides surgeons with two commonly used retraction profiles in a single instrument, reducing instrument exchanges and improving procedural efficiency. The instrument is particularly useful during facial surgery, flap elevation, wound revision, and other procedures requiring precise tissue exposure.

One end features an 8 mm wide catspaw retractor with sharp prongs designed to securely engage soft tissues and maintain stable retraction. The opposing end incorporates a 15 mm × 6 mm Langenbeck-style blade that provides broad, atraumatic retraction of wound edges and superficial tissues. This combination allows surgeons to select the most appropriate retraction method according to the surgical stage and anatomical requirements.

With an overall length of 15 cm (6″), the instrument offers excellent balance, visibility, and maneuverability within confined operative fields. Its double-ended design maximizes versatility while maintaining a slim profile that minimizes obstruction of the surgical site. The ergonomic construction provides dependable tactile feedback and precise control during delicate tissue manipulation.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Kilner Catspaw Retractor – Miniature Pattern undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its dual-ended functionality and compact design make it a valuable instrument for a wide range of plastic and reconstructive procedures.
