Yancoskie Retractor 6 Prongs Blade Width

Description

Yancoskie Retractor 6 Prongs Blade Width

The Yancoskie retractor holds a wide scalp flap open in coronal and brow lift surgery. Six sharp prongs spread across a 150 mm blade, so the whole flap edge lifts evenly.

Wide blade, six prongs

The 150 mm width matches the long coronal incision. Consequently, one retractor can hold most of the flap. Meanwhile, six prongs share the pull, so no single point tears.

Size of the Yancoskie retractor

It measures 18 cm overall. That length lets the assistant stand clear of the field. In addition, the handle gives good leverage on the heavy scalp.

Typical procedures

Open coronal brow lifts use it most. It also helps in craniofacial access and forehead reconstruction. For example, it holds the scalp back while the surgeon frees the brow.

Sharp prongs on a scalp flap

Scalp tissue is thick and tough. Sharp prongs therefore grip it with less force. However, they should sit under the galea, not in the skin surface.

Pairing on the tray

A coronal lift rake and blade retractors often work beside it. Together they open the whole forehead. Then the surgeon works with both hands free.
