Obwegeser Nasal Spine Retractor 22cm – Optic-Scope Septal Anchor & Prime-View Midface Protector

Solid-Phase Obwegeser Nasal Spine Retractor (22cm) for Precision Le Fort Access

The Obwegeser Nasal Spine Retractor is a premier instrument in the midfacial surgical kit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the nasal mucosa and cartilaginous septum. Functioning as a high-performance septal anchor, this 22cm model features a specialized fork-shaped distal end that anchors onto the anterior nasal spine, providing a clear window for horizontal maxillary osteotomies. Adas Instruments ensures that each midface protector is balanced for high-accuracy maneuvers, allowing the surgical assistant to maintain a steady field of view without obstructing the surgeon’s line of sight to the nasal floor. 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 Nasal Spine Retractor

• **Optic-Scope Geometry:** Features a specialized V-shaped notch to act as a versatile **septal anchor**, ensuring the retractor “locks” onto the nasal spine to prevent instrument slippage.
• **Prime-View Stability:** Specifically designed with a long, slender shaft to function as a reliable **midface protector**, keeping the assistant’s hands away from the primary surgical site.
• **Anatomical Contouring:** The blade is meticulously angled to elevate the nasal base, providing the clearance necessary for safe saw and osteotome passage.
• **Steady-Stance Resilience:** Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel, engineered to maintain its structural alignment even under the mechanical stress of retracting dense midfacial soft tissues.

Primary Surgical Applications

• Reflecting the nasal mucosa to expose the anterior nasal spine during Le Fort I procedures.
• utilizing the **septal anchor** function to stabilize the cartilaginous septum during repositioning.
• Performing efficient **midface protector** maneuvers to shield the nasal floor during bone cuts.
• Assisting in the visualization of the piriform aperture and lower nasal cavity.
