Levasseur-Merrill Retractor, 25cm — Overview

The Levasseur-Merrill Retractor (S27-128-01) is a 25cm retractor with dual blade widths of 12.5mm and 27mm, specifically designed for vertical ramus osteotomy procedures — one of the standard surgical approaches for mandibular repositioning in orthognathic surgery.

Purpose-Built for Vertical Osteotomies

Vertical ramus osteotomy requires stable, sustained retraction of the soft tissue and masseter muscle attachment around the ramus while the surgeon makes and completes the vertical bone cut, over what can be an extended portion of the procedure. The Levasseur-Merrill design's dual blade widths give the surgeon options for the retraction width needed at different stages of exposure during this specific approach.

25cm Length

The substantial 25cm length gives the surgeon working leverage and reach appropriate to the depth of exposure vertical ramus osteotomy requires, longer than most general maxillofacial retractors in this catalog.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used specifically in vertical ramus osteotomy and related orthognathic mandibular procedures where sustained, deep retraction around the ramus is required.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a robust shaft suited to sustained retraction over an extended procedure.

Sterilization and Care

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