Plastic Cheek Retractors, Autoclavable

A plastic cheek retractor holds lips and cheeks away from the teeth during exams and procedures. This version is autoclavable and comes as a Single Handle or a Double Handle model. Our team in the United States looks over each piece before it ships.

Single Handle or Double Handle

The choice comes down to who holds it. The Single Handle model has one grip, so an assistant can steady it with one hand. The Double Handle model offers two grips instead. Therefore, it gives a more balanced pull across the mouth. Compare the photos to see how each handle sits.

Why Plastic Instead of Metal

Plastic feels gentler against the lips than a metal edge. It also weighs less, which matters during a long appointment. Because this retractor is autoclavable, you can reprocess it with your regular instrument load rather than throwing it away.

Where It Earns Tray Space

Implant cases often need wide, steady exposure. For example, a cheek retractor helps during intraoral scanning, impressions and clinical photography. In addition, it frees the assistant’s other hand for suction. Patients can also hold the Single Handle model themselves during photos.

Warranty on a Plastic Item

Plastic parts still carry our coverage. We guarantee this retractor for three years against manufacturing defects, the same term that applies to our metal instruments.

Because this item is plastic, the ASTM F899 steel standard behind our metal instruments does not apply to it. You will find metal alternatives in our Surgical Retractors category. For flap retraction during surgery, the Minnesota Retractor is a common companion. Answers on returns and ordering are in the FAQs.

Meant for trained dental professionals. The retractor arrives unsterilized; wash it and run it through the autoclave before patient use, as our care and sterilization page describes. Expected delivery times appear on the shipping and delivery page.
