Description

Aufricht Nasal Retractor is designed to lift and hold nasal tissue during rhinoplasty and other nasal procedures. It measures 16 cm (6¼”) in length and has a 45 mm blade. The curved blade reaches into the nasal area while the handle stays outside the immediate working space, giving the surgeon a clear view of the tissue being retracted.

The blade is long and narrow, with a bend that brings it down toward the working area. Its 45 mm length gives a good amount of contact with the tissue without using a wide blade. The shape also makes it easier to place the retractor around the nasal structures where space can be limited.

This version has fibre optic illumination, with the light connection built into the end of the handle. It helps direct light toward the surgical area, which can be useful when working deeper inside the nose. The illuminated design can be especially handy during rhinoplasty and other procedures where the nasal structures can be difficult to see clearly.

The overall length of 16 cm (6¼”) keeps the retractor easy to control. The handle is broad, smooth, and shaped to sit comfortably in the hand, with long grooves along its surface. The curved shaft connects the handle to the 45 mm blade and keeps the working end at a useful angle during retraction.

The instrument is made from surgical stainless steel, while the handle includes the fibre optic illumination system and connection. Before use, the 45 mm blade should be checked for bends, dents, or rough areas. The fibre optic connection should also be inspected, along with the handle and shaft, before proper cleaning and sterilization.

For nasal procedures where both tissue retraction and better illumination are needed, Aufricht Nasal Retractor combines a curved 45 mm blade with fibre optic lighting. Its 16 cm (6¼”) length keeps it manageable in the hand, while the illuminated handle helps provide a clearer working area during detailed nasal surgery.
