Surgical retractors, including the Cottle Retractor and Columbia Lip Retractor, are integral tools for precise nasal, facial, and lip procedures. Research indicates that well-designed instruments like the Millard Thimble Retractor and Foman Retractor enhance surgical outcomes by providing optimal visibility and minimizing tissue trauma. References to studies emphasize the importance of ergonomic designs, such as recessed prongs in the Cottle Retractor and ball-tip ends in the Knife Guide and Retractor, in reducing operative time and improving patient recovery.
