Cottle Alar Retractor

The Cottle Alar Retractor is a alar retractor, classified under Surgical Instruments → Retractors → Alar Retractors. It carries the COTTLE pattern designation, a named instrument pattern used in the catalogue to identify a specific, repeatable design geometry so that clinical and procurement teams can reliably reorder the same configuration. As a retractor, its role is to hold back tissue and maintain exposure of the operative field, and this instrument is oriented toward ENT, maxillofacial and ophthalmic procedures, where it supports exposure of fine anatomical structures.

In terms of design characteristics, across the family the instrument is offered in working lengths of (145 mm) (200 mm), measured and printed in both imperial and metric units in the source catalogue. Tip configurations recorded in the catalogue include blunt/blunt, blunt/sharp. Only the attributes explicitly printed in the source catalogue are reproduced here; no dimensions, materials, or finishes have been inferred beyond the printed record.

This is a product comprising 2 catalogued variations, each retaining its originalcatalogue reference so that orders map exactly to the manufacturer’s reference. The available configurations are: — length (145 mm), blunt/sharp tip;length (200 mm), blunt/blunt tip. Braun. In terms of application, the instrument type indicates use in ENT, maxillofacial and ophthalmic procedures. As a alar retractor it is applied to exposure of fine anatomical structures, providing and maintaining exposure while the surgeon works.

These application areas follow directly from the instrument’s catalogued type designation; the catalogue does not enumerate specific procedures, and the definitive procedural suitability, sterilisation parameters, and compatibility should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s documentation for the relevant reference. For ordering, this product is available in multiple configurations; refer to the individual variations for exact specifications and select the required catalogue reference.

The website operates as an inquiry platform: prices are not published online.the COTTLE pattern designation provides an additional, standardised way to reference the specific geometry. Internally the product is tracked under registry ID REG-080086 and family registry ID FAM-080086, which keeps the catalogue reference, the product record, and any downstream store listing consistently associated. This traceability matters in a procurement context because it lets a buyer confirm that a quoted or received item corresponds exactly to the catalogued specification.

Regarding material, reprocessing, and regulatory status, the source catalogue entry for this item does not print a material specification. No regulatory clearance, certification, or performance claim is made here; any such status should be confirmed with the manufacturer or authorised distributor for the destination market. This conservative approach keeps the listing accurate and avoids overstating what the catalogue records.

When selecting a configuration, buyers should match the required working length and, where offered, the required tip or angle to the intended access and anatomy, then order by the corresponding catalogue reference. Because each variation is a distinct catalogue item, specifying the exact reference avoids ambiguity in quoting, delivery, and inventory management. Where several references share the same printed dimensions, the intended figure or shape should be confirmed so that the correct variant is supplied.
