Sklar Aufricht Retractor, Solid Blade
A 6-1/2 inch retractor with a 45mm solid blade, used to hold nasal skin and soft tissue away from the surgical field during rhinoplasty. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Aufricht Retractor is a 6-1/2 inch nasal retractor fitted with a 45mm solid blade, used during rhinoplasty to lift and hold nasal skin and soft tissue clear of the surgical field so the surgeon can work on the underlying cartilage and bone. The solid blade, as opposed to a fenestrated design, offers a broad, even retracting surface that some surgeons prefer for firmer tissue control during dorsal work.
This instrument is part of the standard set of nasal retractors used in facial plastic and otolaryngologic practice, alongside bent and fenestrated variants that give the surgical team options depending on the stage of the procedure and the surgeon's preference. It is used by plastic surgeons and ENT specialists performing rhinoplasty and other nasal reconstructive procedures in hospital operating rooms and outpatient surgical centres.
Being a solid, single piece stainless instrument, it is straightforward to clean and sterilize between cases and holds up well to frequent use in a busy rhinoplasty practice.
