Surgical Green Cottle Alar Retractor

Surgical Green Cottle Alar Retractor is a reusable 16 cm nasal retractor designed to retract the nasal ala and expose the operative field during plastic and nasal surgical procedures. Its curved blade, blunt edges, and slender neck support stable soft-tissue retraction while maintaining visibility inside the nose.

The instrument has a slender profile for access through narrow spaces. A long, lightweight handle with a flat profile and outer serrations supports a firm professional grip during controlled retraction.

Curved Blade for Alar Retraction

The curved blade is designed to sit inside the nasal ala and support stable retraction as the handle is drawn back, helping expose the operative area during nasal procedures.

Blunt Edges for Controlled Tissue Contact

Blunt blade edges support controlled contact with the nasal soft tissues during retraction without introducing a sharp cutting edge.

Slender Neck for Direct Visibility

The blade transitions through a slender neck designed to preserve the operator's view into the nose while the ala is retracted.

Long Serrated Handle for Secure Grip

The long, lightweight handle has a flat profile with outer serrations designed to support a secure grip and controlled manipulation during extended procedures.

High-Quality Manufacturing

The Cottle Alar Retractor is manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel and is passivated, ultrasonically cleaned, and dull-polished. It is reusable, latex-free, individually packed, and supplied non-sterile. Quality checks include boil, performance, and shape testing, with QC passed.
