Tessier Saddle Retractor – Anti-Glare Black Finish for Plastic Surgery

Tessier Saddle Hooklets: Non-Reflective Precision for Aesthetic Surgery

The Tessier Saddle Hooklets Black Chrome Plated 14cm from Adas Instruments represents the pinnacle of refinement for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this instrument features a specialized black chrome finish that is essential for surgeons working under high-magnification loupes or utilizing surgical lasers, as it completely neutralizes distracting glares and reflections.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Tessier hooklet undergoes a precision coating process where the black chrome is bonded to the steel to ensure it does not chip or peel during sterilization. The saddle-shaped tip is meticulously contoured to distribute tension evenly across the skin flap or wound edge. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the 14cm handle is balanced for effortless “pencil-grip” manipulation during delicate dissections.

Surgical Applications

• Rhinoplasty: Used to retract the alar cartilage or skin envelope without causing visible trauma to the nasal tissues.
• Blepharoplasty: Provides the delicate tension required for precise eyelid skin excision while preventing glare near the ocular field.
• Laser-Assisted Surgery: The black matte finish prevents laser beam reflection, significantly increasing safety for both the patient and the surgical team.

Care and Maintenance Section

To preserve the integrity of the black chrome plating, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals. We recommend using pH-neutral detergents and soft-bristled brushes for manual cleaning. The instrument is fully autoclavable; however, it should be dried immediately after the cycle to prevent mineral deposits on the matte surface. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
