Solid-Phase Obwegeser Channel Retractor (16cm) for High-Precision Ramus Access
The Obwegeser Channel Retractor is a premier instrument in the reconstructive surgical kit, specifically engineered for the secure displacement of soft tissue along the medial and lateral aspects of the mandible. Functioning as a high-performance nerve guard, this 16cm model features a specialized grooved distal end that “channels” the bone margin, preventing the instrument from slipping during critical bone cuts. Adas Instruments ensures that each mandibular ramus shield is balanced for high-accuracy maneuvers, allowing the surgeon to maintain a clear line of sight while shielding vital neurovascular structures. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their anatomical accuracy and structural resilience.
Why Maxillofacial Surgeons Choose Our Channel Retractor
- Optic-Channel Geometry: Features a specialized U-shaped distal hook to act as a versatile nerve guard, ensuring the retractor “locks” onto the posterior or inferior border of the ramus.
- Secure-Slide Stability: Specifically designed with a wide, flat handle to function as a reliable mandibular ramus shield, providing the surgical assistant with superior leverage and anti-rotation control.
- Low-Profile Access: The 16cm length is optimized for intraoral use, providing the necessary reach without the handle obstructing the surgical microscope or overhead lighting.
- Steady-Stance Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel, engineered to maintain its channel alignment through repeated high-torque use and sterilization cycles.
Primary Surgical Applications
- Retracting the soft tissue and protecting the medial structures during a Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO).
- utilizing the nerve guard function to shield the inferior alveolar nerve during ramus bone cuts.
- Performing efficient mandibular ramus shield maneuvers for clear visualization of the mandibular notch and neck.
- Maintaining a dry and open surgical field during the placement of orthognathic fixation plates.
