Hooks & Retractors

Hooks and Retractors for Plastic Surgery - Nasal, Breast, Endoscopic and Self-Retaining Instruments for Sale

Retraction is the unglamorous core of most plastic surgery. The incision creates access; it's the retractors and hooks that keep it open, expose the operative field, and free the surgeon's hands for dissection, graft placement, or suturing. In a facelift, a poor retractor slips off the skin flap and requires constant repositioning. In rhinoplasty, an Aufricht retractor positioned incorrectly prevents the surgeon from seeing the dorsum they're working on. In breast augmentation, a retractor without adequate illumination means operating in a pocket that's half in shadow.

The difference between well-designed, procedure-specific retractors and general-purpose instruments is felt throughout the operative case. This category at NJ Medical Instruments covers the hooks and retractors used across rhinoplasty, breast surgery, endoscopic plastic surgery, and general plastic surgery procedures - from simple skin hooks to fibre optic lighted retractors with integrated suction. All are manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel at the company's Sialkot facility, CE-certified, and autoclavable.

Nasal Retractors and Rhinoplasty Exposure Instruments

Open and closed rhinoplasty both require retraction to expose the anatomical structures being addressed. The Aufricht is probably the most recognisable nasal retractor - its curved blade elevates the nasal tip skin envelope to allow direct vision of the dorsum, osteotomy sites, and cartilage framework in open rhinoplasty.

Aufricht Retractor - Solid Blade, 6", Reusable

The Aufricht Retractor with Solid Blade, 6", Stainless Steel, Reusable is the standard instrument for dorsal exposure in open rhinoplasty. The solid blade design maintains its shape under retraction pressure - fenestrated blades can flex enough to allow the flap to settle back during critical moments. At 6" overall length it suits standard rhinoplasty access. Reusable stainless construction, CE-certified, autoclavable.

Tebbetts Alar Stabilizing Jig

The Tebbetts Stainless Steel Alar Stabilizing Jig, 5" (12.5 cm) holds the alar rim in a fixed position during tip suture placement and structural graft positioning. Tip refinement sutures need to be placed with the alar contour stabilised, otherwise the needle path follows the moving tissue rather than the planned anatomical position. This instrument eliminates that variable. CE-certified, autoclavable.

Skin Hooks and General Wound Retraction

Barsky Double Skin Hook - 14 cm, 5 mm

The Barsky Double Skin Hook 5-1/2" (14 cm), 5 mm, Stainless Steel retains skin flap edges without the pressure-induced ischaemia of blade retractors. The double-hook configuration distributes the lifting force across two tines, which reduces the risk of tearing through thin skin when tension is applied - important in facelift, blepharoplasty, and scar revision work where the skin is already under stress. CE-certified, autoclavable.

Multi-Purpose Retractor

The Multi-Purpose Retractor, Stainless Steel, 4-1/2" (12 cm) x 7/8" (2.3 cm) Blade covers the broad-use wound retraction needs in general plastic surgery - flap elevation, skin excision access, and wound exposure during layered closure. The blade dimensions are sized for moderate-depth access across a range of soft tissue procedures. CE-certified, autoclavable.

ALM Self-Retaining Retractor

The ALM Self-Retaining Retractor locks open without requiring an assistant to hold it, freeing both the surgeon's hands and an assistant's attention for other tasks. In smaller plastic surgery procedures - minor skin excisions, cyst removal, or cases performed without a first assistant - a self-retaining retractor is not a luxury; it's what makes the operation manageable. CE-certified, autoclavable.

Specialised Retractors for Breast and Endoscopic Procedures

Tebbetts Fibre Optic Lighted Breast Retractor with Suction - Insulated Smooth

Breast augmentation pocket dissection is done largely by feel in a closed space. The Tebbetts approach to this puts significant emphasis on controlled, precise pocket creation - and doing that under direct vision rather than operating blind dramatically improves consistency. The Tebbetts Fibre Optic Lighted Breast Retractor with Suction - Insulated Smooth brings light directly to the pocket floor while simultaneously providing suction to maintain a clear field. The insulated smooth surface prevents inadvertent cautery injury to surrounding tissue. This is the retractor that closes the visibility gap in submuscular and subglandular pocket dissection.

Sculpo Endoscopic Retractor with Channel for Endoscopes

The Sculpo Endoscopic Retractor with Channel for Endoscopes is designed for endoscopic procedures in plastic surgery - forehead lifts, endoscopic brow elevation, and endoscopic-assisted breast augmentation. The channel allows the endoscope to be passed through the retractor shaft, maintaining simultaneous retraction and visualisation in a single instrument, which is the fundamental challenge of endoscopic plastic surgery access. CE-certified, autoclavable.
