A standard disposable sterile laryngoscope blade may be attached to a handle covered
by a sterile glove which is secured using steristrips. As such it may act as a useful
alternative to a lit retractor for illumination in breast augmentation surgery (Fig. 1). It proves more lightweight and less cumbersome than the lit retractor connected
to fibre optic cabling; in addition, it provides a useful readily available option
in the case of equipment malfunction or accidental perioperative desterilisation.
We have found that the handling of this device superior to the lit retractor, and
its lighting capability as good. The equipment may be prepared rapidly and without
difficulty.
