Abstract

For the correction of blow out fractures of the orbit, the retraction of orbital floor contents are necessary. We are here in presenting a customized orbital floor soft tissue retractor to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional Rows orbital floor retractor.

Keywords: Blow out fracture; Customized orbital floor soft tissue retractor; Orbital floor retraction; Rows orbital floor retractor; Spoon retractor.
