Aufricht Walter Nasal Retractor

Enhanced Exposure: Aufricht Walter Nasal Retractor (Double Ended)

In the field of rhinoplasty as well as ENT surgery, getting the most optimal opening of the nasal cavities can be the difference between a satisfactory outcome and one that is perfect. This Onricht Walter Nasal Retractor is an instrument for traction that is multi-purpose, designed to offer surgeons an extensive field of vision through the gentle retraction of soft tissues, skin flaps, and the nasal area.

This model comes with the smallest 13.5cm (5 1/8") overall length, and it has a double-ended design, making it among the most flexible retractors available in the surgical tray.

Superior Design and Technical Specifications

This Aufricht Walter variation is favored by its ergonomic balance and dual-purpose design. Specifications include:

• Double-Ended Versatility With two ends that function, this retractor permits the surgeon to choose between retraction depths or styles without having to change instruments. The first end usually has the solid concave blade that allows for extended retraction. The other is a grip that is specialized for precise tissue manipulation.
• Blade Dimensions (38 7 mm x 38mm): The primary blade is precisely-sized to 37mm long and 7mm wide. This slim design is perfect for adults who have nasal passages that allow maximum light exposure and the least amount of weight.
• Sharp abrasive Edges. The safety of patients is the top priority in rhinology. The blades with blunt edges are made to gently pull back the delicate mucosa and skin, without creating tears, punctures or post-operative bruises.
• Concave Blade Profile: The subtle curve of the blade creates the appearance of a "hollow" workspace, giving the surgeon additional space to insert other instruments like rasps or osteotomes.

Primary Clinical Applications

This Aufricht Walter Retractor is a vital instrument for a variety of different stages of nasal surgery.

1. Rhinoplasty (Open and closed): It is used to raise the skin of the dorsal region and also to open up the soft tissue envelope, which allows the surgeon to view the cartilage and nasal bridge clearly.
2. Septoplasty helps with the retracting of the mucosal flaps to allow an unobstructed view of the cartilage and septal bone.
3. Reconstruction of Fractures: The act of keeping soft tissues out of the way to aenablethe realignment of nasal bones after trauma.
4. Symmetry Evaluation By offering a stable hand-free (via the aid of an assistant) view of inner structures of the nose, this permits an accurate evaluation in assessing nasal symmetry.

Quality and Material Excellence

Forged from top-quality German stainless steel , this retractor has been made to last for a long time and is designed to perform.

• Satin Finish An unpolished, dull finish hinders light reflection from the high-powered lamp fixtures in operating rooms, which reduces eye strain for surgical staff.
• Sterilization: This instrument can be completely reusable, and passivated to ensure corrosion resistance and is designed to withstand repeated autoclaving as well as ultrasonic cleaning.
• Ergonomics . Its 13.5cm body is extremely light and balanced, which means it's comfortably in your hand when undergoing lengthy reconstructive procedures.
