Aufricht Walter Nasal Retractor

The Aufricht Walter Nasal Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 42 mm long × 7 mm wide blades on both working ends, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 13.5 cm (approx. 5.3 inches) 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 Aufricht Walter Nasal Retractor is used in rhinoplasty to gently elevate mucosal flaps, the alar cartilage, and the dorsal skin envelope, giving surgeons direct access to the septal cartilage and bony nasal pyramid.

It is indicated for primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and nasal reconstruction following facial fractures.

The instrument is forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses glare from surgical headlights and operating lamps.
