Curtin Skin and Tissue Retractor

The Curtin Skin and Tissue Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The handle is low-profile ergonomic flat handle designed for steady manual pulling leverage, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 14 cm (approx. 5.5 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 Curtin Skin and Tissue Retractor is used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to grasp and elevate skin flaps, dermis, and subcutaneous fat, exposing deep surgical planes without crushing tissue edges.

It is indicated for rhytidectomy (facelift), blepharoplasty, abdominoplasty flap undermining, mastectomy skin flap creation, scar revisions, and wide local tumor excisions.

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