Obwegeser Channel Retractor 16cm – Optic-Channel Nerve Guard & Secure-Slide Mandibular Ramus Shield
$ 14.00
The Obwegeser Channel Retractor is a highly specialized orthognathic instrument designed for the safe and stable retraction of the mandibular ramus. At Adas Instruments, we construct this 16cm retractor with a unique, U-shaped “channel” blade that securely straddles the bone to provide an unobstructed operative field. This tool is a fundamental requirement for maxillofacial surgeons who need a reliable nerve guard to protect the inferior alveolar nerve during sagittal split osteotomies. We offer fast shipping to the USA, Europe, and worldwide via professional courier services to provide surgical teams with elite-caliber bone-shielding hardware. Each unit is masterfully forged from high-tensile materials to ensure it remains stationary under significant retraction pressure while maintaining a slim, low-profile design.

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.
