Aero-Vantage Obwegeser Swallowtail Raspatory (17cm) for Refined Ramus Exposure
The Obwegeser Swallowtail Raspatory is a premier instrument in the reconstructive surgical kit, specifically engineered for the precise elevation of soft tissue from the narrow borders of the mandible. Functioning as a high-performance ramus sculptor, this 17cm model features a bifid distal end that perfectly fits the anatomical curvature of the mandibular ramus. Adas Instruments ensures that each mandibular notch elevator is balanced for high-accuracy maneuvers, allowing the surgeon to strip the periosteum with a steady, sweeping motion. 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 Swallowtail Raspatory
- Bifid Swallowtail Geometry: Features a specialized V-shaped tip to act as a versatile ramus sculptor, ensuring the instrument “locks” onto the bone edge to prevent accidental soft tissue injury.
- Grip-Core Stability: Specifically designed with a flattened, solid handle to function as a reliable mandibular notch elevator, providing the surgeon with superior leverage when clearing heavy masseteric attachments.
- Atraumatic Plane Separation: The edges of the swallowtail are meticulously honed to facilitate a clean lift of the periosteum without shredding the tissue.
- Dura-Flex Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel, engineered to maintain its unique bifid alignment through repeated sterilization and high-torque use.
Primary Surgical Applications
- Stripping the masseter muscle from the inferior and posterior borders of the ramus.
- utilizing the ramus sculptor function to prepare the site for a Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO).
- Performing efficient mandibular notch elevator maneuvers for clear visualization of the mandibular notch.
- Gaining safe access to the ramus for fracture plating or reconstructive bone grafting.
