Henahan Retractor Large

Description

Henahan Retractor Large

After a flap is raised, someone has to keep it from sliding back over the bone. The Henahan retractor handles that task. Interestingly, our supplier groups the Henahan with periosteal elevators, not with cheek retractors. That placement hints at how it is used: close to bone, holding the reflected flap itself.

Flap Retraction Close to the Bone

Cheek retractors work on the outside of the field. By contrast, a flap retractor like the Henahan rests against bone and holds the periosteum back. As a result, the surgeon sees the crest, the defect and any graft site without tissue in the way.

Why Choose the Large Pattern

This listing is the large Henahan. It suits broad flaps, such as those raised for multiple implants or for lateral ridge grafting. However, the catalogue does not publish separate measurements for it. So compare the product photos with your existing retractors to judge whether the size fits your typical cases.

• Large Henahan pattern, single listing
• Holds reflected flaps away from bone
• Grouped with the catalogue’s periosteal instruments

Working Hand in Hand With the Elevator

Typically, the surgeon reflects tissue with a periosteal elevator, then the assistant places the Henahan to hold it. Because both instruments touch bone, they share the same tray and the same reprocessing cycle.

Our Inspection and Warranty

A U.S. staff member examines each large Henahan, blade and grip, prior to dispatch. It reaches you non-sterile, so wash and autoclave it before surgery. Henahan retractors that show a production flaw qualify for three years against manufacturing defects coverage with no added cost.

Its steel grade appears in ASTM F899. To reflect the flap first, pair it with the Prichard Periosteal Elevators. Browse Dental Implant Instruments for more, and visit the FAQs for help.
