Product Overview

The Desmarres Weighted Nasal Retractor is designed to provide stable, downward traction on the nasal alae or columella. By utilizing gravity through its integrated solid weight, it maintains a wide-open surgical field, allowing the surgeon to operate with both hands free. Its “beast-like” stability ensures that the tension remains uniform throughout the procedure, which is critical for accurate septal and dorsal work.

Key Features

• Self-Retaining Weighted Design: Features a solid, polished sphere or cylindrical weight at the base of the handle, providing the perfect counter-balance to keep the nasal tissue retracted without manual intervention.

• Atraumatic “Saddle” Blade: The working end features the signature Desmarres smooth, curved blade that cradles the nasal rim securely. The edges are meticulously rounded to prevent bruising or pressure marks on the skin.

• Enhanced Visual Access: The slender, arched neck is engineered to stay out of the surgeon’s direct line of sight and provides ample room for the use of endoscopes or suction tips.

• Stability & Balance: Every retractor is weight-calibrated to ensure it stays in place on the surgical drape, providing a “beast-like” grip that doesn’t shift during delicate maneuvers.

• High-Grade Surgical Steel: Forged from premium stainless steel with an anti-glare finish, ensuring durability and clear visibility under intense surgical lighting.
