Cawood Minnesota Retractor

Description

Cawood Minnesota Retractor

The Cawood Minnesota cheek retractor holds back the cheek, lip and tongue in the mouth. Oral surgeons and dentists use it to protect soft tissue and improve the view, for example during extractions.

Why teams like it

The blade sits against the soft tissue and draws it aside. As a result, the operator sees the teeth and bone more clearly. It also keeps burs and instruments away from the cheek.

One practical size

We list this retractor at 15 cm. That length fits comfortably in an assistant’s hand. Meanwhile, the blade reaches well into the mouth for back tooth work.

Use in oral surgery

Assistants often hold it during third molar removal or flap surgery. Then the surgeon can use both hands for elevators and forceps. Some ENT teams also keep one for work in the mouth.

Pairing with other retractors

Many trays hold a lip retractor and a tongue depressor alongside it. So the team can cover front and back access with little changeover. If you need another size, ask us about the related patterns we stock.

Caring for your Cawood Minnesota cheek retractor

Rinse it straight after the procedure to remove saliva and blood. Next, clean both faces with a soft brush and warm water. Then dry it well before sterilization.
