AGRICOLA LACRIMAL SAC RETRACTOR
Medlene® Agricola Lacrimal Sac Retractor is a specialized device that ophthalmic surgeons can use to broaden the edges of the periorbital incision, in order to gain maximum exposure of the lacrimal sac.
- 3 x 3 Curved Prongs Promoting Optimal Retraction.
- Serrated Finger Grips to Manipulate the Device.
- Adjustable Screw Mechanism Ensuring Precise Opening.
The Agricola Lacrimal Sac Retractor offers a reliable way to enhance the lacrimal sac’s surgical view. Its principal use is to statically separate the incision edges during dacryocystectomy.
For this purpose, the instrument features 3 x 3 curved prongs that ensure excellent wound retraction. In addition, the prongs are blunt at the tip to prevent damage of the nasolacrimal ducts and other tissues.
Moreover, the Agricola Lacrimal Sac Retractor features an adjustable screw mechanism. Surgeons can rotate the screw to tighten or broaden the gap between the prongs to gradually pull back the incision edges.
