Solid-Phase Bowdler-Henry Cheek Retractor (16cm) for High-Visibility Posterior Surgery
The Bowdler-Henry Cheek Retractor is a premier instrument in the oral surgical toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the buccal mucosa. Functioning as a high-performance buccal anchor, this 16cm model features a specialized wide blade with a deep offset, allowing the cheek to be pulled laterally and superiorly away from the surgical site. Adas Instruments ensures that each third molar guard is balanced for center-point force transmission, allowing the assistant to maintain a clear window for the surgeon during difficult impaction cases. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their anatomical efficiency and structural resilience.
