Cottle retractor 6 3/4" 2 ball end prongs 12.0mm spread flat handle

Focused Retraction with Practical, Comfortable Handling

The Cottle retractor is a hand-held surgical instrument used to provide tissue retraction and help maintain a clear working area during procedures. Its 6 3/4-inch length offers useful reach for routine handling, while the two ball-end prongs provide a defined contact configuration for positioning tissue. A 12.0mm spread supports localized retraction, and the flat handle offers a straightforward grip for controlled manipulation. Suitable for use across ENT, General Surgery, and Plastic Surgery workflows, this retractor supports practical exposure and instrument handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative setup.

Use Cases

• ENT procedures requiring localized tissue retraction and access around the operative field.
• General Surgery tasks involving manual retraction to help maintain a workable area during tissue handling.
• Plastic Surgery procedures where a compact, hand-held retractor can support positioning and visualization.
• Use the flat handle for direct manual manipulation while placing the two ball-end prongs at the intended retraction point.
