Jansen mastoid self-retaining retractor 4" 3x3 blunt prongs, screw handle

Controlled Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The Jansen mastoid self-retaining retractor is a compact surgical retractor designed to maintain tissue separation during procedures requiring a steady, hands-free field. Its 4-inch overall length, 3x3 blunt-prong configuration, and screw handle support controlled positioning while helping keep the instrument engaged at the operative site. The self-retaining design can contribute to an organized workflow where sustained retraction is needed. Its named mastoid pattern is relevant to ENT applications, while the instrument’s retractor format may also support comparable exposure tasks in general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, subject to the clinician’s technique and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Support mastoid-region retraction tasks in ENT procedures where a compact self-retaining instrument is appropriate.
• Maintain tissue separation during focused exposure tasks in general surgery.
• Assist with controlled retraction in neurosurgical operative fields when selected by the surgical team.
• Support localized soft-tissue retraction tasks in plastic surgery.
• Use the screw handle to adjust and maintain the retractor’s position during hands-free exposure workflows.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blunt prongs, screw handle, and retaining mechanism for damage, looseness, or restricted movement before use.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their configuration.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects its prongs and screw handle from impact or distortion.

General use; follow facility protocols.
