Obwegeser Ramus Retractor

The Obwegeser 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 channel blade contoured to seat securely over the mandibular ramus cortex, 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 Ramus Retractor is used in maxillofacial surgery to hook over the posterior border of the ascending ramus, retracting the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles while protecting facial vessels during osteotomies.

It is indicated for sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO), 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.
