Andrew Cheek and Lip Retractor

Description

Andrew Cheek and Lip Retractor

The Andrew cheek and lip retractor pulls the lip and cheek away from the teeth. Dentists, oral surgeons and ENT teams use it for access and visibility inside the mouth.

Opening the front of the mouth

The blade hooks around the lip or cheek and draws it outward. As a result, the teeth, gums and vestibule come into clear view. It also protects the lip from burs and blades.

A compact 10 cm size

We list the Andrew pattern at 10 cm. Because of that short length, it sits easily close to the face. Therefore an assistant can work without crowding the operator.

Typical uses

Teams use it for anterior extractions, gum surgery and intraoral photography. For instance, one retractor on each side opens the smile line wide. Meanwhile, the operator keeps both hands free for instruments.

Building a retractor set

Most offices keep several cheek retractors in different lengths. So consider adding a longer pattern for work toward the back teeth. We can help you compare the patterns in our range.

Caring for your Andrew cheek and lip retractor

Rinse the retractor as soon as the procedure finishes. Next, scrub the curve with a soft brush to lift any residue. Then dry it completely before sterilizing.
