Obwegeser Chin Retractor, 16cm — Overview

The Obwegeser Chin Retractor (S27-123-16) is a 16cm retractor shaped specifically for chin (genioplasty) surgery, part of the broader Obwegeser orthognathic instrument family, used to hold soft tissue clear during procedures repositioning or reshaping the chin.

Purpose-Built for Genioplasty

Genioplasty — surgical repositioning or reshaping of the chin, often performed alongside or independently of jaw surgery — requires soft-tissue retraction specifically shaped for the chin's anatomical contour and the typically intraoral surgical approach used to access it, distinct from the retraction needs of ramus or maxillary surgery elsewhere in the Obwegeser family.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used specifically in genioplasty and related chin-reshaping orthognathic procedures for soft-tissue retraction during bone access and repositioning.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a smooth, atraumatic working blade shaped for the chin approach.

Sterilization and Care

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