Product Description
The Plester Self Retaining Retractor is an internationally acclaimed otologic and microsurgical retractor engineered specifically to provide stable, hands-free soft-tissue and periosteal retraction in confined surgical fields. Designed with an offset low-profile finger-ring chassis, this instrument holds postauricular and temporal incisions open under mechanical tension, eliminating assistant hand fatigue while preserving an open visual corridor under operating microscopes.
Built for diverse otologic and neurosurgical procedures, the Plester Self Retaining Retractor series ($109) features an integrated mechanical ratchet lock system that ensures steady positioning and reduces manual strain. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the product family includes three primary configurations: the Detachable Standard Pattern (4″ or 5″ / approx. 11 cm) with semi-sharp fine prongs and Left or Right solid blades, the Extra Fine 2:2 Prongs Pattern (11 cm or 13 cm) featuring an asymmetrical 2×2 prong array optimized for deep corridors, and the Asymmetric 3 Prongs Left Pattern (13 cm) combining 3 semi-sharp prongs on the left with a smooth blade on the right for balanced, controlled wound exposure.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Plester Self Retaining Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing ENT suites, neurosurgical operating theaters, and outpatient surgical centers worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Plester Self Retaining Retractor?
The Plester Self Retaining Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Semi-sharp fine prongs, 2×2 extra-fine prongs, and 3-prong / smooth solid blade pairings, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Plester Self Retaining Retractor used for?
The Plester Self Retaining Retractor is used in ear and mastoid surgery to hold open postauricular incisions, retracting skin, galea, and periosteum away from the temporal bone for drilling.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for cortical mastoidectomy, tympanoplasty, stapedectomy, endolymphatic sac surgery, facial nerve decompression, and minor cranial burr hole procedures.
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 surgical operating microscopes.
Is the Plester Self Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Plester Self Retaining Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The ratchet teeth and hinge pivot should be lubricated regularly.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because each configuration is built as an integrated mechanical unit, each model is sold as a standalone retractor. Hospitals can order multiple variations as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom prong lengths, modified blade curvatures, 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.
