The HiTeck Medical Instruments Ramus Retractor, V Notch, Curved Down, with a working end blade size of 70 mm x 11 mm, is a vital surgical instrument particularly for retracting soft tissue (like the cheek, lip, and periosteum) away from the mandibular ramus during oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. This retractor is a variant of the widely-used Obwegeser Ramus Retractor (often designated SR9).
Its specific design features a V-shaped notch at the working tip, which is uniquely shaped to precisely engage and follow the contour of the anterior border of the mandibular ramus (the vertical part of the lower jaw). This secure engagement is essential for safely exposing the bone during complex surgeries such as mandibular osteotomies (e.g., sagittal split osteotomy) for orthognathic surgery, or during the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars (wisdom teeth). The curved-down profile of the working end, combined with the V-notch, enhances tissue protection, minimizes trauma, and ensures a clear, stable field of vision for the surgeon.
Crafted from premium, German-grade surgical stainless steel, the instrument's overall length (typically around 22 cm) provides the necessary leverage and deep surgical access required for operating in the posterior regions of the mouth. If you're searching for a highly effective and reliable tool for superior exposure and protection of the mandibular ramus, the best Ramus Retractor is a definitive choice for any dental professional.
