KILNER RETRACTOR

About KILNER RETRACTOR

The Kilner retractor is a handheld, double-ended surgical instrument used to retract surface tissue. It is designed for precision and versatility, featuring two distinct ends:

• Blunt, angled end: Used for gentle retraction of tissue, particularly in delicate surgical procedures.
• Sharp, three-pronged rake tip end: Employed for more aggressive retraction, suitable for procedures requiring greater tissue separation.

Kilner retractors are commonly used in:

• Plastic surgery
• Small bone and joint procedures
• Cosmetic surgery

They are available in different sizes, with varying retractor widths and tapering, such as the Kilner Cheek Retractor Small (22/25mm).

Materials used in the construction of Kilner retractors include stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Handles are typically designed for comfortable grip and control during surgery.

Some Kilner retractors are reusable, while others are single-use instruments. They are often sterilized and packaged as latex-free and non-sterile instruments.

Overall, the Kilner retractor is a valuable tool for surgeons, offering a range of retraction options and precision control for various surgical procedures.
