Obwegeser Ramus Retractor — Overview

The Obwegeser Ramus Retractor (S27-158-00 family) is available in two configurations — 11mm/15mm x 70mm and 12mm/22mm x 70mm — each with dual blade widths on a 70mm-length frame, designed to hold soft tissue clear around the mandibular ramus during sagittal split osteotomy.

Dual Blade Widths

Each configuration offers two different blade widths on the same instrument, letting the surgeon select the retraction width suited to the specific stage of ramus exposure without switching instruments, similar in principle to the double-ended Hamra retractor elsewhere in this catalog but specifically configured for ramus anatomy.

Two Configurations

The 11mm/15mm configuration suits narrower or more conservative retraction needs; the 12mm/22mm configuration provides wider retraction options for cases needing more exposure.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used specifically in sagittal split ramus osteotomy for soft-tissue retraction around the mandibular ramus throughout the procedure.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with dual blade widths built into each 70mm frame.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable in both configurations. Routine inspection for surface damage or deformation of both blade widths is standard practice.
