Biggs Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) Retractor

The Biggs Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 5.2 cm wide blade with contoured retaining lip, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomically contoured handle designed to minimize user hand fatigue, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 8″ (20.3 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Biggs Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) Retractor is used in aesthetic facial surgery to elevate and retract skin flaps and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), exposing deep fascial planes for tightening.

It is indicated for full rhytidectomy (facelift), mini-facelift, neck lift, platysmaplasty, forehead and brow lift procedures, and facial reconstructive surgery.

The retractor is fabricated from surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under bright operating room lighting and surgical loupes.
