SKU:RM-CANR-1-1
$44.00USD
The Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook is a specialized 5 ½″ (14.0 cm) dual-pronged rhinoplasty hook designed for asymmetric nostril rim traction. Featuring a 10.0 mm wide head combining one blunt ball-end prong and one sharp prong (available in Ball Left or Ball Right orientations), it optimizes tissue hold while safeguarding delicate vestibular skin.
Product Description
The Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook is an essential rhinoplasty surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide safe, non-slip retraction of the alar rim, nostril margin, and lower lateral cartilages. Designed with a distinctive hybrid dual-prong architecture, this instrument utilizes one blunt ball-ended prong alongside one sharp prong to deliver optimal mechanical traction without puncturing fragile cutaneous surfaces.
Built for targeted anatomical alignment, this Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook model features an overall length of 5 ½ inches (14.0 cm) and a 10.0 mm wide working end ($44). Surgeons can select between two dedicated operational orientations: Ball on Left Side or Ball on Right Side, ensuring that the protective ball prong faces the external skin margin while the sharp prong anchors securely into the fibrous vestibular lining. Its flat ergonomic handle provides refined manual tactile feedback.
Forged from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing plastic and ENT surgical suites worldwide with high corrosion resistance, unyielding precision, and complete autoclave durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook?
The Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The handle is flat ergonomic handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 5 ½″ (14.0 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.
What is the Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook used for?
The Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook is used in rhinoplasty to hook and elevate the nostril rim, using the blunt ball to protect outer skin while the sharp hook secures the vestibular cartilage.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for primary open rhinoplasty, closed endonasal rhinoplasty, septoplasty, alar base resection, tip plasty, and nasal trauma reconstruction.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Is the Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Cottle Alar Nasal Retractor / Hook is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
