The Minnesota Retractor is a 5.5″ (13.97 cm) oral and maxillofacial instrument engineered for cheek, lip, and mucoperiosteal flap retraction during dental surgery. Available in a Standard solid-surface pattern ($39) or With Suction Tube ($49), its 20.5 mm wide curved blade ensures simultaneous tissue protection and operative fluid evacuation.
Product Description
The Minnesota Retractor is an internationally acclaimed oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide dependable, non-traumatic displacement of the cheeks, lips, and tongue during intraoral procedures. Designed with an offset double-angled shank, this instrument allows surgical assistants to shield delicate buccal tissues cleanly away from rotating dental burs and oscillating saws while maintaining an expansive visual corridor.
Built to clinical framework standards, this Minnesota Retractor maintains a uniform longitudinal profile of 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) paired with a 20.5 mm wide working blade. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the instrument offers two distinct structural typologies selectable from the option menus: a Standard Pattern (Without Suction) featuring a solid-surface baseline model ($39), or a configuration With Suction Tube ($49) integrating a continuous fluid-evacuation channel directly onto the retractor blade. The ergonomic central handle ensures fatigue-free manual leverage and slip-resistant handling.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Minnesota Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing oral surgery suites, maxillofacial clinics, and dental surgical facilities worldwide with exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Minnesota Retractor?
The Minnesota Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 20.5 mm wide curved blade, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle designed for steady manual leverage and comfort, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Minnesota Retractor used for?
The Minnesota Retractor is used in oral and maxillofacial surgery to retract the cheeks, lips, and tongue, providing clear visualization of the dental arches, alveolar ridge, and third molar sites.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for impacted third molar extractions, dental implantology, alveolar bone grafting, cyst enucleation, orthognathic osteotomies, and vestibuloplasty.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under intraoral surgical operating lights.
Is the Minnesota Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Minnesota Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The suction lumen should be flushed with enzymatic cleaner prior to autoclaving.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each configuration is sold as a standalone unit. Dental clinics can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, altered suction tube diameters, 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.
