Obwegeser Chin Retractor 16cm

The Obwegeser Chin Retractor from Delta Med Surgical is an essential tool for surgeons performing osseous genioplasty or chin augmentations. The primary challenge in mandibular surgery is maintaining a clear view while working against the tension of the mentalis muscle. Our Obwegeser design features a specialized forked (notched) distal tip that "locks" onto the inferior border of the chin, preventing the instrument from slipping during bone sawing or screw fixation.

Key Performance Features

• Anatomically Contoured Notch: The "V" or "U" shaped notch at the blade's end is precision-machined to fit the curvature of the human mandible. This ensures the retractor stays centered, protecting the mental nerve and soft tissues from accidental trauma.
• Ergonomic "Fenestrated" Handle: The handle is designed with a large finger-ring or teardrop opening, providing the surgical assistant with a secure, fatigue-free grip during long retraction periods.
• High-Leverage Blade Angle: The 16cm (approx. 6.25") length and specific blade curvature are engineered to provide maximum leverage with minimal effort, allowing for wide exposure of the mental symphysis.
• Anti-Glare Satin Finish: The surface is treated with a specialized satin finish to reduce light reflection from surgical overheads and endoscopes, ensuring optimal visual clarity.
