The Converse Nasal Retractor is a specialized 4 ½″ (11.4 cm) rhinoplasty retractor featuring an 11.0 mm × 44.0 mm tapered blade designed for dorsal skin envelope elevation. Available in standard and integrated fiber-optic illuminated models, it delivers shadow-free visibility during aesthetic nasal remodeling.
Product Description
The Converse Nasal Retractor is an industry-standard rhinoplasty surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide steady, atraumatic elevation of the nasal skin envelope, cartilaginous vault, and dorsal periosteum. Designed with an optimal downward angle, this instrument allows surgeons to maintain clear operative access to the bony and cartilaginous dorsum while protecting the overlying skin flap from focal bruising.
Built for procedural adaptability, this Converse Nasal Retractor model features an overall length of 4 ½ inches (11.4 cm) paired with an 11.0 mm wide by 44.0 mm long tapered blade profile. The instrument is available in two functional options: a standard non-illuminated model ($69) and a premium illuminated configuration ($209) incorporating an integrated fiber-optic light bundle that projects bright, shadowless illumination directly into the deep surgical pocket. The light bundle includes a universal fitting compatible with standard OR light sources (Storz, Olympus, Wolf, ACMI).
Machined from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Converse Nasal Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing plastic and ENT surgical centers with exceptional optical clarity, corrosion resistance, and clinical longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Converse Nasal Retractor?
The Converse Nasal Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 11.0 mm wide × 44.0 mm long tapered blade profile, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 4 ½″ (11.4 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) & optional high-transmission optical fibers for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Converse Nasal Retractor used for?
The Converse Nasal Retractor is used in open and closed rhinoplasty to elevate the dorsal skin-soft tissue envelope away from the underlying nasal bones and cartilages, exposing the bridge for rasping, osteotomies, and graft placement.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, septoplasty, dorsal hump reduction, and reconstructive nasal trauma repair.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish, paired with heat-resistant, high-transmission glass optical fibers in the illuminated version.
Is the Converse Nasal Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Converse Nasal Retractor (both standard and fiber-optic configurations) is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Each configuration is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both standard and fiber-optic versions as open-stock inventory to equip rhinoplasty trays.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered taper angles, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?
In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
