Solid-Phase Tessier Soft Tissue Retractor (16cm) for High-Visibility Craniofacial Surgery
The Tessier Soft Tissue Retractor 16cm is a premier instrument in the plastic and reconstructive toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of large soft tissue flaps. Functioning as a high-performance flap anchor, this 16cm model features a broad, anatomically curved blade that prevents tissue from encroaching on the surgical site during complex bone manipulations. Adas Instruments ensures that each craniofacial shield is balanced for center-point ergonomics, allowing the surgical assistant to maintain a steady field of view with minimal hand fatigue during long reconstructive procedures. By utilizing the Tessier Soft Tissue Retractor 16cm, surgeons benefit from a specialized geometry that protects vital neurovascular bundles during orbital or malar exposure. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their anatomical accuracy and structural resilience.
