Obwegeser Chin Retractor

The Obwegeser Chin Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Curved saddle blade contoured to hook snugly under the inferior border of the chin, 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 16 cm (approx. 6.3 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Obwegeser Chin Retractor is used in facial plastic and orthognathic surgery to hook beneath the chin, retracting the lower lip and mentalis muscle while shielding the mental nerves during horizontal chin osteotomies.

It is indicated for osseous genioplasty (sliding, advancement, or reduction genioplasty), chin implant placement, mandibular symphysis fracture reduction, and anterior mandibulectomy.

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.
