Sklar Aufricht Alar Retractor, Bent
A 6-1/4 inch bent retractor with an 8mm by 60mm blade, used in rhinoplasty to retract the alar cartilage and skin for clear exposure. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Aufricht Alar Retractor is a bent nasal retractor measuring 6-1/4 inches, fitted with an 8mm by 60mm blade shaped to lift and hold the nasal skin and alar cartilage away from the surgical field during rhinoplasty and other nasal reconstructive procedures. Its bent profile lets the surgeon retract tissue upward and outward from the nasal dorsum while keeping their view of the underlying cartilage and bone unobstructed, which is essential for the fine reshaping work rhinoplasty demands.
This retractor is a staple of facial plastic and ENT rhinoplasty trays, used by plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists performing both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery. Because nasal procedures rely heavily on precise, sustained exposure of a small operative field, retractors like this one are chosen for their specific blade dimensions rather than general purpose use.
It is designed for repeated sterilization and reuse across the many rhinoplasty cases a facial plastic surgery practice typically performs.
