Millard-Kilner-Martinez Thumb Hook Retractor

The Millard-Kilner-Martinez Thumb Hook from Delta Med Surgical is the preferred choice for surgeons performing high-precision facial plastic surgery. Unlike standard long-handled retractors, the thumb-hook design places the traction point directly under the assistant’s or surgeon’s thumb. This provides superior tactile feedback, allowing for the perfect amount of tension required to elevate delicate facial skin flaps without causing ischemia or tearing.

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Prong Configuration: The 2-prong tip is spaced to distribute tension evenly across the skin edge. This prevents the "point-loading" trauma often caused by single hooks, ensuring the integrity of the flap margin.
• Ergonomic Thumb Ring: The integrated finger-ring handle is designed to fit comfortably over the thumb or index finger. This "hands-free" style allows the user to maintain retraction while keeping the rest of the hand available for sponging or assisting.
• Atraumatic Sharp Tips: The prongs are hand-honed to a needle-sharp point, requiring minimal pressure to engage the subdermal tissue securely. This reduces the risk of the retractor slipping during critical dissection.
• Ultra-Slim Profile: The compact size is ideal for working through small pre-auricular or hairline incisions where space is limited and visibility is paramount.
