The Cottle Nasal Retractor 15cm is a specialized handheld nasal retractor designed for controlled soft-tissue retraction during rhinoplasty and related nasal surgical procedures. Its working end features 4 blunt prongs, providing a defined multi-prong configuration for maintaining exposure while reducing the need for sharp tissue-engaging points.
The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-RS-00143 and has a confirmed overall length of 6 inches (15.0 cm). Peak Surgicals positions the instrument within its Plastic Surgery and Rhinoplasty Surgery Instruments ranges.
The instrument has a confirmed overall length of 15.0 cm (6 inches). This compact configuration provides working reach for nasal surgery while allowing the surgeon or assistant to maintain direct manual control of the retractor.
The 15 cm overall length is an important purchasing specification when distinguishing this model from other Cottle and nasal retractor patterns available in different dimensions.
The defining specification of this Cottle Nasal Retractor is its 4 blunt prongs. The four-prong working end provides multiple contact points for controlled retraction of nasal soft tissue during surgical exposure.
Because the prongs are specifically described as blunt, this model should be distinguished from sharp-prong retractors used for different tissue-engagement requirements.
As a dedicated nasal retractor, the Cottle pattern is used when soft tissue needs to be held away from the working area to maintain surgical exposure. Its four-prong configuration provides a broader multi-point working end than a single-hook or narrow-blade retractor.
The exact position and amount of retraction should be determined according to the anatomy, surgical approach, and procedure being performed.
Peak Surgicals lists the Cottle Nasal Retractor within its Rhinoplasty Surgery Instruments collection. This makes the instrument relevant for rhinoplasty sets requiring dedicated tools for nasal exposure and soft-tissue retraction.
Rhinoplasty procedures may require different retractor configurations depending on the surgical approach and area being exposed. The 15 cm Cottle model provides a compact four-prong option within this instrument category.
The current Peak Surgicals page title positions the Cottle Nasal Retractor within Plastic Surgery Instruments. It can therefore be incorporated into professional nasal and facial plastic surgery sets where a Cottle-pattern handheld retractor is required.
The current product page does not specify a particular open or closed rhinoplasty technique, so procedure-specific claims beyond its rhinoplasty instrument classification should not be assumed.
The current Peak Surgicals page title identifies this Cottle Nasal Retractor as a stainless steel instrument. The metallic construction provides the rigid structure required for controlled manual retraction during professional surgical use.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, plastic surgery centers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific steel designation or material certificate should confirm that information before ordering.
The Cottle Nasal Retractor is a manually controlled retraction instrument. Its compact overall length allows the user to position the four-prong working end while maintaining control from the handle.
The current page does not provide exact handle dimensions, prong spacing, prong length, working-end width, or retraction depth. Buyers requiring those measurements should confirm them before purchase.
Before clinical use, the four blunt prongs, shaft, and handle should be inspected for correct alignment, deformation, corrosion, or visible surface damage that could interfere with normal use.
Following use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures. The current product page does not state exact sterilization-cycle parameters.
