Specialized Hook for Temporomandibular Joint and Facial Surgery with Downward-Directed Tip
The OBWEGESER Retractor downwards curved, 10x35mm, 24.0 cm is a Class I medical device according to ISO 13485:2016. This specialized instrument with its characteristic downward-directed (inferiorly curved) tip is a standard tool in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). It was designed for the gentle yet stable retraction of soft tissue in the area of the lower jaw, mandible, and adjacent facial regions.
Product Highlights:
✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745)
✔ OBWEGESER design with downward-curved, narrow tip
✔ Narrow, tall blade (10x35 mm) for precise access in confined spaces
✔ High-grade stainless steel 1.4401/316L – corrosion-resistant and biocompatible
✔ Biocompatibility tested according to ISO 10993
✔ Rounded, atraumatic edges for maximum patient safety in the facial area
✔ Optimal length of 24.0 cm for good leverage in intraoral and extraoral approaches
✔ Autoclavable and reusable
Advantages of the OBWEGESER Retractor (downwards curved):
• Specific Retraction Direction: The downward-curved tip allows for targeted and secure retraction of tissue inferiorly (e.g., cheek, floor of mouth) for optimal view of the surgical site.
• Ideal for TMJ and Mandibular Surgery: Standard instrument for procedures on the temporomandibular joint (arthrotomy, condylotomy), for mandibular osteotomies (e.g., sagittal split osteotomy), and for exposing the inferior alveolar nerve.
• Precision Work in Confined Spaces: The narrow blade design allows for work with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue in the intraoral or submandibular area.
• Ergonomic Handling: The length and special curvature are perfectly adapted to the anatomy of the facial region, enabling controlled, low-fatigue application.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both intraoral approaches (e.g., wisdom tooth removal) and extraoral approaches (e.g., mandibular fractures).
Technical Specifications:

• Special Feature: Classic and indispensable instrument for precise OMFS
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Fields of Application:
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery
• Orthognathic surgery (osteotomies of the mandible, e.g., BSSO)
• Traumatology (treatment of mandibular fractures)
• Oral surgery (removal of impacted teeth, particularly wisdom teeth)
• Tumor surgery in the floor of mouth or cheek region
• Reconstructive procedures following tumor resection
Important Application Notes:
• FOR USE BY ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Precision instrument for sensitive regions. Extreme caution is required to avoid injury to the facial nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, or salivary gland ducts.
• Before each use, inspect for cleanliness, sharp edges, and correct curvature of the tip.
• The instrument is for soft tissue retraction. Do not use as a lever on bony structures.
• During intraoral use, pay special attention to protecting the dental arch and gingiva.
• During reprocessing, strictly follow applicable guidelines for surgical stainless steel instruments.
• Discard immediately if the specific tip geometry is bent or damaged – the correct curvature is essential for functionality.
