McCabe Antral Retractor

The McCabe Antral Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Curved shanks integrated with a 2-blade centralized retraction layout, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is dual finger ring grip with an integrated multi-position ratchet gear lock, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 6 ⅝ inches (16.83 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 McCabe Antral Retractor is used in otolaryngology to hold open intraoral mucosal incisions and elevate the upper lip and cheek, providing hands-free access to the anterior maxillary wall.

It is indicated for Caldwell-Luc maxillary sinusotomy, transoral antral foreign body removal, maxillary cyst enucleation, antrostomy, and facial trauma midface repairs.

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 headlights.
