Cottle Retractor double prong left sharp and ball for septoplasty and sinus surgery

Controlled Retraction for Septoplasty and Sinus Surgery

The Cottle Retractor double prong left sharp and ball is a surgical retractor intended to assist with tissue retraction during septoplasty and sinus surgery. Its double-prong configuration supports controlled engagement and helps maintain access within the operative field, while the named left-sided sharp-and-ball design provides a choice of contact profiles for handling the intended anatomy and approach. In ENT settings, it can support focused exposure during nasal procedures; in General Surgery, it may be incorporated where a Cottle-style retractor is appropriate to the operative technique. Its compact retractor format supports practical instrument handling and organized workflow.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction during septoplasty procedures.
• Assist with access and exposure during sinus surgery.
• Use the double-prong configuration for controlled engagement within the operative field.
• Incorporate into ENT workflows requiring a Cottle-style retractor.
