Obwegeser Nasal Spine Retractor

The Obwegeser Nasal Spine Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Bifurcated notched saddle blade designed to straddle the anterior nasal spine securely, 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 22 cm (approx. 8.7 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 Nasal Spine Retractor is used in maxillofacial surgery to hook over the anterior nasal spine, retracting the upper lip and nasal columella to expose the piriform rim during Le Fort osteotomies.

It is indicated for Le Fort I osteotomy, anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy, cleft lip and palate repair, septoplasty, and facial trauma reconstructions.

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.
