AUFRICHT Nasal Retractors 7" - 18cm

AUFRICHT Nasal Retractors, 7" - 18 cm

Seven inches—noticeably more reach than the standard-length version and useful exactly when a case needs it. Revision rhinoplasty in particular can involve scarred, altered anatomy that benefits from an instrument with a bit more working distance in reserve. This is the extended AUFRICHT Nasal Retractor built for that.

Extra Reach for More Demanding Cases

At 18cm, this retractor reaches further into the surgical field than its shorter counterpart, which is important when extensive dissection, scar release, or complex grafting requires working at a greater distance from the external incision without changing instruments mid-procedure.

Same Slot, Same Visualization Benefit

The extra length doesn't cost anything in visibility—this version keeps the same slotted blade that lets overhead or headlamp light pass through to the surgical bed.

Where Revision Work Actually Needs It

Scar tissue from a prior surgery doesn't always behave like virgin tissue during dissection. Sometimes the plane runs longer or more circuitously before reaching healthy anatomy, and the added reach here accommodates that without sacrificing control.

Built for Headlamp Illumination

Surgeons working with a headlamp rather than overhead theater lighting will notice the slot design working especially well—a headlamp's more focused beam passes cleanly through to illuminate exactly the area in use.
