Unique Features 

Crafted from stainless steel, this Cottle Lid Retractor resists corrosion through repeated use. Its flat handle counters hand fatigue during extended work, while the solid handle delivers reliable surgical control. The wide blade measures 10.0 mm wide, giving practitioners dependable grip across every procedure.

Four blunt prongs hold delicate tissues apart without slippage, while their blunt end design prevents tissue trauma near sensitive eyelashes. The recessed outer prongs distribute pressure evenly, achieving targeted retraction that keeps the affected area exposed throughout demanding surgical site work.

The single concave blade features deep horizontal ridges that grip firmly and gently adapts to the eyeball’s shape. This precise contact minimizes damage during retraction, allowing precise tissue retraction and clean separation of tissues across the entire 6 3/4” working total length.

The concave blade carries horizontal ridges, smooth blade edges, and a 15.0 cm frame, while blunt 2 ball end prongs, projecting outer prongs, and a steady handle prevent tissue damage.
