Premium Swivel Ring Nasal Retractor (Kilner)
-
The Swivel Ring Nasal Retractor—commonly referred to as the Kilner Nasal Retractor—is an indispensable specialized instrument in open and closed rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and nasal reconstructive procedures. Designed specifically to hold back the alar margin and nasal mucosa, this tool provides clear, unobstructed access to the lower lateral cartilages and nasal septum without crowding the surgical field. The hallmark feature of this instrument is its 360-degree swiveling finger ring. The swivel mechanism allows the operating surgeon or assistant to wear the ring on the index or middle finger, maintaining constant, uniform traction on the nasal tip or nostril rim while keeping the hand completely out of the line of sight.

Key Features
-
✔ Swivel Ring Mechanism: The rotating finger loop self-aligns with the angle of pull, delivering optimal tension with minimal mechanical stress on the surgeon’s hand.
-
✔ Double-Pronged Tip: Engineered with a two-hook tip (available in sharp or blunt options) to securely anchor onto the alar rim or soft tissue without slipping or causing tearing.
-
✔ Compact & Lightweight: Balanced, low-profile design prevents obstruction in narrow surgical corridors during delicate cartilage grafting and suturing.
-
✔ OR-Grade Stainless Steel: Forged from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel built to endure repeated autoclave cycles while retaining smooth swivel rotation.
-
✔ Satin Anti-Glare Finish: Matte polish reduces light reflection and eye fatigue under bright operating room spotlights and surgical loupes.
