Sklar University of Minnesota Cheek Retractor, Double-Ended
A double-ended, 5-1/4 inch cheek retractor from Sklar used to hold soft tissue clear of the surgical field during oral and dental procedures. It is commonly stocked
The Sklar University of Minnesota cheek retractor is a double-ended surgical instrument measuring 5-1/4 inches, used to hold the cheek and soft tissue away from the working area during oral, dental, and maxillofacial procedures. Having a working end at each side of the handle lets the clinician switch angles or retract from either direction without reaching for a second instrument, which is useful in confined intraoral spaces.
Instruments of this pattern are typically made from surgical grade stainless steel so they can withstand repeated sterilization cycles in a clinic or hospital setting. They are commonly stocked by oral surgeons, general dentists, and maxillofacial teams as part of a standard extraction or minor surgery tray.
Reliable, gentle retraction of the cheek improves visibility and access for the operator while protecting the patient's soft tissue from trauma. This listing covers the single 5-1/4 inch double-ended configuration.
