- A specialized surgical instrument measuring 2-7/8 inches long, designed primarily for ophthalmic and microsurgery procedures, it is used to hold back and secure tissues to provide clear access to the lacrimal sac
Uses
- Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) & Lacrimal Procedures:
- Primarily used to retract the medial canthal tendon and surrounding tissue during lacrimal sac surgeries
- Ophthalmic & Oculoplastic Surgeries:
- Assists surgeons by opening up narrow surgical fields, minimizing tissue trauma, and giving clear visibility
- Microsurgery & Veterinary:
- Also suitable for specialized microsurgical interventions and fragile animal health/veterinary procedures
Features
- Specific Prong Configuration:
- Features a 3 × 3 sharp-pronged configuration with a 3.0mm prong depth
- Ratchet/Locking Mechanism:
- Includes a self-retaining ratchet lock that provides stability, maintaining consistent retraction pressure so the surgeon can work hands-free
- Premium Material:
- Handcrafted from German surgical-grade stainless steel for longevity and exact alignment
- Reusable Design:
- Built to withstand repeated sterilization (e.g., autoclaving) without compromising its structural integrity
Benefits
- Enhanced Precision:
- The 3mm prong depth is engineered specifically to grasp tissue while avoiding unnecessary surrounding trauma
- Unmatched Durability:
- Constructed from top-tier, non-magnetic stainless steel, ensuring high resistance to corrosion and bending
- Operational Stability:
- The built-in ratchet mechanism saves time and effort during long procedures by removing the need for a surgical assistant to hold the retractor continuously
