Munro Lateral Vertical Ramus Retractor: Precision Orthognathic Exposure
The Munro Lateral Vertical Ramus Retractor 16cm from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for maxillofacial surgeons performing orthognathic corrections. This instrument is crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, offering the perfect balance of structural rigidity and anatomical contouring required to safely retract the soft tissues and masseter muscle from the lateral surface of the ramus.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Munro retractor undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and corrosion resistance. The blade is designed with a specific lateral flare that mirrors the natural geometry of the mandible, providing a secure, non-slip grip on the bone. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the 16cm handle provides the ergonomic leverage needed for prolonged retraction during delicate osteotomies.
Surgical Applications
- Sagittal Split Osteotomy (SSO): Used to maintain clear lateral exposure of the ramus for safe sagittal bone splitting.
- Vertical Ramus Osteotomy: Facilitates the retraction needed to visualize the posterior border of the mandible.
- Mandibular Trauma: Assists in the exposure of ramus fractures for the application of internal fixation plates and screws.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the high-quality finish, the retractor should be cleaned using pH-neutral detergents to remove all biological debris. It is fully autoclavable and built to withstand the rigors of repeated high-temperature processing. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
