Often used in the treatment of mandibular condylar and subcondylar fractures, as well as TMJ surgeries, the 9 3/4" Extra Oral Sigmoid Notch Retractor is a specialized surgical tool made for use in oral and maxillofacial procedures. Its main purpose is to retract soft tissues and improve visibility and access to the sigmoid notch region of the mandible during extraoral surgical approaches. Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the retractor's long, curved blade adapts to facial anatomy for effective exposure with minimal tissue trauma, and its ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip for precise control throughout the procedure.
