Periocular/lacrimal retractors are hand-held surgical tools used in eye procedures to gently separate tissues and hold back eyelids or surrounding skin during surgery. They help surgeons maintain clear access to the lacrimal sac or other periocular structures while minimizing tissue trauma.
These reusable devices are typically classified as surgical instruments and must comply with medical device regulations, including sterilization standards and material safety requirements. They are often supplied sterile or as clean instruments for surgical preparation, depending on local regulatory and clinical protocols.
