This cheek retractor is a unique one which we do not believe is present on the market. It has a very simple way of working with the sucking option. One end is put inside the vacuum sucking machine (for this type of cheek retractor high vacuum is needed) and the other end directly to a common pipe with metal wire inside and the nozzle suction tip.
Retractor versions have following :
- Left – sucking pipe is from the patient left side
- Right – sucking pipe is from the patient right side
- Pack has both Left and Right versions
The difference between both packs is the left and right sucking side of the cheek retractor. The pack has both versions and is cost effective. Left one has a sucking extension from the left side of the patient’s mouth. Right one has a sucking extension from the right side of the patient’s mouth.
Cheek Retractor(s) can be 3D printed with biocompatible flex resins (as flexible as better) to give it an elastic property when it is put inside the mouth and at the same time good tensile strength to keep the mouth open. Depending on the used resin it can be autoclavable so you can use it many times.
What you receive is a fully functional and tested product.
