Bauer-Type Intra-Oral Retractor, Left, 21cm — Overview

The Bauer-Type Intra-Oral Retractor, Left (S27-102-21) is the standard, non-illuminated version of the left-side Bauer retractor, sharing the same 21cm length and left-side shaping as the fiber optic version, for surgeons or procedures that don't require integrated lighting.

Standard vs. Fiber Optic

Where the fiber optic version channels light directly to the retraction site, this standard version relies on the room's overhead surgical lighting alone. It is a simpler, lower-cost instrument suited to procedures with adequate ambient visualization, or for facilities that prefer to reserve fiber optic retractors for specific cases requiring deep-field illumination.

Left-Side Configuration

Shaped and angled for retraction on the left side of the oral cavity, typically used together with its right-side counterpart for bilateral retraction during maxillofacial and orthognathic procedures.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used across general intraoral and maxillofacial surgery, including Le Fort osteotomies, mandibular surgery, and other procedures requiring intraoral soft-tissue retraction on the left side.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, to the corrosion-resistant standard expected of a reusable surgical retractor.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. Routine inspection for surface damage or deformation of the retracting blade is standard practice.
