Mollison Retractor

SKU:RM-MLR-155-1

$99.00USD

The Mollison Retractor is a 15.5 cm self-retaining surgical instrument designed for postauricular and scalp wound edge separation during mastoidectomy. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with an asymmetrical 4×4 sharp prong layout and a multi-position ratchet lock, it ensures even tension distribution and stable hands-free exposure.

Product Description

The Mollison Retractor is an internationally recognized self-retaining surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide reliable, hands-free soft-tissue and periosteal retraction during mastoidectomy, thyroidectomy, and cranial procedures. Designed with curved spreading arms, this instrument holds incision margins open under constant mechanical tension, eliminating assistant hand fatigue and keeping the visual field unobstructed for high-speed drilling.

Built in a standard size layout engineered to provide a balanced distribution of mechanical pressure, this Mollison Retractor configuration features an overall tool length of 15.5 cm ($99). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the prong layout configuration incorporates an asymmetrical 4 sharp prongs on the left and 4 sharp prongs on the right (4×4 array). The sharp prongs are meticulously crafted to grasp skin borders firmly and accurately, while the balanced 4×4 tension spreads pressure evenly to protect surrounding soft tissues from localized compression trauma. The base mechanical ratchet catch locks smoothly under counter-traction.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Mollison Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing ENT suites, neurosurgical operating theaters, and general surgical clinics worldwide with exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical stability, and complete autoclave durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Mollison Retractor?

The Mollison Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. An overall length of 15.5 cm (approx. 6.1 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Mollison Retractor used for?

The Mollison Retractor is used in otologic and general surgery to hold open postauricular incisions and soft-tissue margins, exposing the mastoid cortex or thyroid bed without assistant fatigue.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for cortical mastoidectomy, radical mastoidectomy, tympanoplasty, endolymphatic sac decompression, thyroid lobectomy, and cranial scalp flap retraction.

What material and finish are used?

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

Is the Mollison Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Mollison Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and hinge joints should be cleaned and lubricated periodically.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is an integrated mechanical retractor, it is supplied as a complete standalone unit. Hospitals can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom prong depths, blunt prong alternatives, 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.
