Levasseur Merril Retractor

The Levasseur Merril 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 channel blade designed to seat over the posterior ramus border, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 25 cm (approx. 9.85 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium surgical-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Levasseur Merril Retractor is used in maxillofacial surgery to hook over the posterior border of the mandibular ramus, retracting the masseter and parotid tissues while protecting facial vessels during vertical osteotomies.

It is indicated for intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO), sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), inverted L osteotomy, and mandibular angle fracture fixation.

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights and headlights.
