Maxwell Flap Retractor

The Maxwell Flap Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 4 sharp rake-style prongs layout engineered for non-slip dermal engagement, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle with lateral serrations for tactile stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 4 inches (10.2 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Maxwell Flap Retractor is used in plastic surgery to hook, elevate, and retract cutaneous flaps and subcutaneous tissue during facelift and facial rejuvenation procedures.

It is indicated for rhytidectomy (facelift), neck lift, blepharoplasty, platysmaplasty, facial scar revision, and reconstructive tissue flap elevation.

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights and loupes.
