Description

Cawood Minnesota Retractor with Fiber Optic Light

The Cawood Minnesota retractor holds the cheek and tongue aside in oral surgery. This version adds fiber optic light, so the back of the mouth is easy to see.

Size of the Cawood Minnesota retractor

It measures 15.5 cm. Also, that fits comfortably in the mouth. Meanwhile, the handle stays outside the lips.

Built-in light

A fiber optic guide carries light to the blade. As a result, shadows fade at the back teeth. The surgeon sees the field without moving a lamp.

Typical procedures

Oral surgeons use it for wisdom tooth removal. In addition, it suits implant and flap surgery. It also helps in fracture repair.

Two working ends

The classic Minnesota design offers two ends. One end suits the cheek. Meanwhile, the other suits the tongue.

Connecting the light

Attach a light cable from your source. Then test the light before the case. Also, check the cable fit.

Handling

Place the blade inside the cheek and draw it outward. Then aim the light at the work. Finally, protect the lip corner with a moist gauze.
