Hofer Tonsil Retractor 24cm – Prime-View Tissue Anchor & Safe-Guard Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Hofer Tonsil Retractor (24cm) for Deep Oropharyngeal Exposure

The Hofer Tonsil Retractor 24cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars. Functioning as a high-performance tissue anchor, this 24cm model features a specialized fenestrated blade that allows mucosal tissue to slightly bulge through the opening, creating a non-slip interface. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the surgeon or assistant with the leverage needed to maintain a clear operative field in adult patients with deep oral anatomy. By utilizing the Hofer Tonsil Retractor 24cm, practitioners benefit from an extra-long, slender shaft that keeps the hands clear of the visual field and surgical lighting. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their mechanical precision and structural resilience.
