Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor
SKU:RM-HMRR-1-1
$59.00USD
The Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor is a 7 ¾″ (19.7 cm) maxillofacial instrument designed to protect the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle and medial pterygoid muscle during orthognathic surgery. Available in mirrored Left-facing and Right-facing configurations, it ensures atraumatic medial ramus exposure.
Product Description
The Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor is a specialized orthognathic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, unobstructed access to the medial surface of the mandibular ascending ramus. Designed to slide gently between the medial ramus cortex and the medial pterygoid muscle, this instrument shields the inferior alveolar nerve, artery, and vein above the mandibular foramen during horizontal osteotomy cuts.
Built to accommodate bilateral surgical approaches, the Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor provides a fixed overall length framework of 7 ¾ inches (19.7 cm, $59). The instrument is manufactured in two mirrored anatomical shapes selectable from the menu layout: a Left-side facing variation and a Right-side facing variation. The curved, atraumatic blade tip wraps snugly around the posterior and medial border of the ramus, preventing tissue slippage while keeping the surgical assistant's hands safely outside the operative line of sight.
Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing oral, maxillofacial, and facial reconstructive surgeons worldwide with exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and clinical dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor?
The Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Anatomically curved medial blade with rounded atraumatic margins, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with lateral grip serrations for tactile stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 7 ¾ inches (19.7 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor used for?
The Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor is used in orthognathic surgery to hook around the posterior border of the ascending ramus, retracting medial soft tissues and shielding the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle during bone cuts.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO), inverted L osteotomy, and mandibular ramus reconstructive surgery.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights and headlights.
Is the Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Hargis Medial Ramus Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each directional profile is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals typically order paired sets (Left and Right) to equip orthognathic trays.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade curvatures, altered shank drops, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?
In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
