Obwegeser Maxillary Mobilizer, 23cm — Overview

The Obwegeser Maxillary Mobilizer (S27-146-23) is a 23cm instrument used in Le Fort osteotomy surgery to complete the down-fracture and mobilization of the maxilla once the bone cuts have been made, a critical mechanical step in maxillary repositioning surgery.

What Maxillary Mobilization Requires

After the surgeon has completed the bone cuts of a Le Fort osteotomy, the maxilla is still typically attached by residual bony connections and must be carefully, controllably mobilized — classically through a controlled down-fracture maneuver — before it can be repositioned into its planned new position. This requires a robust instrument capable of applying firm, controlled force to complete this mobilization safely, distinct from the finer cutting and elevating instruments used earlier in the procedure.

Clinical Use

This mobilizer is used specifically in Le Fort I, II, and III osteotomy surgery for the mobilization step following the bone cuts, an essential part of the Obwegeser orthognathic surgical technique.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, built with the robustness required to safely apply controlled mobilizing force to the maxilla.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. Routine inspection for structural integrity is standard practice given the mechanical force this instrument is designed to apply.
