Cottle Retractor, 15 cm, 4 Prongs, Blunt, 10x10 mm

Sharp retraction isn't always the right call. There are moments in rhinoplasty where minimizing puncture risk to underlying structures matters more than aggressive grip, and this blunt-prong Cottle Retractor fills exactly that gap in the tray.

Blunt by Design, Not by Compromise

The four blunt tips hold tissue with even pressure instead of sharp engagement, which reduces the risk of accidentally puncturing nearby blood vessels or thin cartilaginous tissue—making it a genuinely safer choice in the surgical moments that call for it.

10x10mm, Balanced Exposure

Symmetric prong dimensions distribute retraction tension evenly rather than concentrating pressure unevenly, supporting stable tissue positioning across moderate retraction needs throughout rhinoplasty surgery.

15 cm Fits the Nasal Field

Sized appropriately for comfortable handling within the relatively confined nasal surgical space, useful across both dorsal and nasal tip work wherever blunt retraction is the safer or preferred choice.

A Deliberate Choice, Not a Default

Many rhinoplasty surgeons stock both sharp and blunt retractor variants, choosing based on the specific tissue being retracted and how close sensitive structures sit nearby. This blunt Cottle Retractor rounds out that flexibility.
