The Aston submental retractor combines a tapered blade with built-in fiber optic light. It has a 5-1/4″ (13.5cm) handle and a 6cm x 18mm blade.
Because the light sits in the blade, it shines straight into the submental tunnel. As a result, you see deep, narrow spaces without extra lights. Surgeons use it for facelift, neck lift and submental work.
