Mollison Anterior Pillar Retractor

The Mollison Anterior Pillar Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Dual 10 mm slender blades with rounded atraumatic margins, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is lightweight, angled center handle assembly designed to minimize hand fatigue, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 22 cm (approx. 8.7 inches) 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 Mollison Anterior Pillar Retractor is used in ENT surgery to retract the anterior pillar (palatoglossal fold) laterally, exposing the palatine tonsil and tonsillar fossa for excision and electrocautery hemostasis.

It is indicated for extracapsular tonsillectomy, intracapsular tonsillotomy, peritonsillar abscess drainage, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and pharyngeal mass biopsies.

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