Clodius Orbital Retractor — Overview

The Clodius Orbital Retractor (S27-138-01) is a specialized retractor with dual blade widths of 13mm and 20mm, used in maxillofacial and orbital surgery to retract soft tissue around the bony orbit — the eye socket — during procedures accessing this anatomically sensitive region.

Retraction Around the Orbit

The orbit is surrounded by thin, delicate bone and sits adjacent to critical structures including the globe itself, extraocular muscles, and the optic nerve, making orbital surgery demand retractors specifically shaped and sized for this region rather than general-purpose maxillofacial retractors. The dual 13mm/20mm blade widths on the Clodius design give the surgeon a choice of retraction width suited to the specific area and extent of orbital exposure needed.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used in orbital floor fracture repair, orbital decompression surgery, and other maxillofacial procedures requiring careful, controlled retraction of the soft tissue surrounding the bony orbit.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a smooth, atraumatic working surface appropriate for the sensitive periorbital tissue this instrument contacts.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. Routine inspection for surface damage or deformation of the retracting blades is standard practice, given the sensitivity of the orbital region to any instrument imperfection.

Ordering

The Clodius Orbital Retractor, SKU S27-138-01, is supplied by Scatter Instruments to hospitals, orbital and maxillofacial surgery centers, and distributors internationally, with bulk pricing and OEM or private-label branding available on request.
