Stemberg Cheek and Lip Retractor

Description

Stemberg Cheek and Lip Retractor

The Stemberg cheek and lip retractor keeps soft tissue out of the way during work in the mouth. Clinicians in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery rely on it to widen access and protect the lips.

A wide choice of lengths

We sell this pattern in six lengths: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 cm. As a result, you can match the retractor to the exact reach you need. Few patterns offer that many steps.

How it works

The blade sits inside the cheek or lip and draws the tissue out. Then the assistant holds it steady while the operator works. That also keeps sharp tools away from the soft tissue.

Uses across the mouth

Short sizes suit the front of the mouth, while long sizes reach the back. For instance, a 12 cm retractor helps with incisors. In contrast, the 18 cm version reaches molars and the jaw angle.

Building a set

Many practices pick two or three lengths to cover most cases. First, list the procedures you perform often. Next, choose a short, a middle and a long size to match them.

Caring for your Stemberg cheek and lip retractor

Rinse each retractor right after use. After that, wash the blade using mild detergent and a nylon brush. Dry it thoroughly, then sterilize it.
