SURTEX® Cottle Alar Retractors assist surgeons to treat nasal diseases. For instance, the device retracts soft tissues like the nasal ala in plastic surgery. This exposes the nose in order to repair nose fractures and deviations that result from trauma or disease. In addition, it can treat pain and remove infected tissues.

Surgeons place the blade on the inside of the ala and pull back on the handle. Therefore, we designed the handle with a long and light frame to provide firm grips. Moreover, the flat profile has outer serrations to grant comfort and prevent finger strain in long procedures.

The SURTEX® Cottle Alar Retractor is 16 cm long and has a slender profile to pass into narrow spaces easily. You can use the curved blade to grant stable retractions, while the blunt edges allow you to pull back tissues without damaging surrounding structures. In addition, the blade has a slender neck so you can see the inside of the nose directly.

Furthermore, we offer other SURTEX® devices to cover wide surgical indications. This includes the Lange and Fomon Alar Hooks, which have different blade shapes to customize your approach for every patient.

SURTEX® Instruments manufacture these devices from premium grade materials that you can depend on for years of fine service.
