SKU:RM-CLNR-1

$49.00USD

The Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor is a specialized 6″ (15.2 cm) double-ended facial instrument engineered for cleft lip and nasal reconstruction. Featuring a dual-pronged blunt nostril end to expand internal nasal sightlines and an inward-curved lip end for comfortable labial elevation, it delivers versatile 14 mm wide facial retraction.

Product Description

The Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor is an indispensable plastic and reconstructive surgery retractor engineered specifically to provide dual-purpose tissue exposure during cleft lip repair and rhinoplasty. Designed with two specialized anatomical working ends on a single chassis, this instrument allows surgeons to transition effortlessly between delicate intranasal expansion and upper labial elevation without switching tools.

Built to maximize intraoperative visualization across two distinct facial structures, this Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor configuration features an overall length of 6 inches (15.2 cm) and a 14 mm width ($49). The Nostril End is formatted with two blunt prongs engineered to seat safely within the nasal vestibule, retracting the alar margin to expand the internal visual field. The opposing Lip End features a smooth inward curvature designed to comfortably elevate the upper lip and philtral columns during cleft repair without pinching mucosal tissues.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor to strict clinical standards, delivering high corrosion resistance, excellent ergonomic balance, and complete autoclave durability for pediatric, plastic, and craniofacial surgery suites worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor?

The Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. An overall length of 6″ (15.2 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 Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor used for?

The Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor is used in facial plastic and cleft reconstructive surgery to simultaneously or alternately retract the alar rim and elevate the upper lip, providing clear exposure of the premaxilla and nasal sill.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for primary unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repair, cleft palate revision, rhinoplasty, nasal tip surgery, and philtral column reconstruction.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights and headlights.

Is the Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Cronin Lip & Nostril Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is a solid, one-piece double-ended handheld instrument, it is supplied as a complete standalone unit. Clinics can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom prong spacings, modified lip curve depths, 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.
