Obwegeser Maxillary Awl – Aero-Pass Suture Anchor & Prime-View Sinus Shield

Solid-Phase Obwegeser Maxillary Awl for Precision Midface Stabilization

The Obwegeser Maxillary Awl is a cornerstone of the oral and maxillofacial surgical kit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of wires during orthognathic and trauma procedures. Functioning as a high-performance suture anchor, this model features a sharp, tapered tip with an integrated eyelet for the secure carrying of surgical wire through the maxillary sinus walls or alveolar bone. Adas Instruments ensures that each sinus shield is balanced for center-point force transmission, allowing the clinician to maintain directional control while minimizing trauma to the Schneiderian membrane. By utilizing the Obwegeser Maxillary Awl, practitioners benefit from a reinforced shank that ensures linear stability during bone penetration. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their anatomical efficiency and structural resilience.

Why Maxillofacial Specialists Choose Our Maxillary Awl

• Aero-Pass Tip: Features a precision-honed point to act as a versatile suture anchor, ensuring the wire remains secure during the “pull-through” phase of midface suspension.
• Prime-View Stability: Specifically designed with an anatomical curve to function as a reliable sinus shield, providing safe passage around the maxillary buttress.
• High-Tactile Handle: The ergonomic handle of the Obwegeser Maxillary Awl provides superior feedback, which is essential when navigating the delicate midface anatomy.
• Enduro-Steel Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel, our Obwegeser Maxillary Awl is engineered to maintain its tip sharpness through repeated surgical use.

Primary Surgical Applications

• Passing suspension wires for the fixation of Le Fort fractures using the Obwegeser Maxillary Awl.
• Utilizing the suture anchor function for securing palatal splints or surgical stents.
• Performing efficient sinus shield maneuvers to guide wires through the piriform aperture.
• Maintaining clear visualization of the surgical site during bone graft stabilization.
