Misch Sinus Retractor

Description

Misch Sinus Retractor

The Misch sinus retractor keeps the reflected buccal flap out of the way while a surgeon works on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. The pattern carries the name of Dr. Carl Misch, whose sinus instruments are common in implant trays. With the flap held back, the window outline and the membrane stay in clear view.

Holding the Flap During a Lateral Window

Lateral window sinus augmentation needs wide, stable access high in the posterior maxilla. Meanwhile, the flap there is thick and tends to roll back over the bone. This retractor rests against the reflected tissue so the assistant can hold it with steady, even pressure.

A Single Pattern

The retractor comes in one version only, so there are no sizes to compare. Our supplier catalogue lists it among its retractors and mouth gags without further dimensions. Therefore, we recommend checking the photos against your current tray if you want a specific blade width.

Where It Fits in the Procedure

After the full thickness flap is raised, the assistant places the retractor against the periosteum above the planned window. Then the surgeon outlines the window and begins elevating the membrane. In addition, the same retractor helps later while graft is packed and the barrier is placed.

• Lateral window sinus augmentation
• Posterior maxillary implant placement
• Buccal access for ridge grafting

Inspection and Three-Year Cover

Our staff inspect this retractor in the United States before dispatch. You also get a warranty of three years against manufacturing defects, which protects the blade and the handle. Since it is shipped non-sterile, put it through cleaning and a validated sterilization cycle before surgery.

The stainless steel matches ASTM F899. Browse all surgical retractors, use it alongside the Misch Sinus Lift Instrument for membrane work, or check our FAQs.
