A NEW MALLEABLE SELF-RETAINING RETRACTOR

Simple function, wide view, and safety are three important properties of a good retractor, Since conventional retractors are not specificall y designated for extraocular or neurovascular operations, particularly on the head and neck, we hereby introduce our self-retaining retracto r. This instrument is composed of an ordinary self-retaining retractor and a pair of malleable retractors. This retractor has the previously mentioned properties of a good retractor. We have used this type of r etractor for a variety of plastic surgical operations.
