Rubber Wedge with chain

Clinical Application

This tapered rubber wedge provides a simple, low-profile solution for gentle tissue separation, positioning and protection during short procedures and operative setup. Common uses include acting as a bite block or intraoral spacer in dental and ENT cases, elevating or cushioning delicate soft tissues in ophthalmic and plastic procedures, and protecting skin or tubing from pressure points in general surgical and procedural settings. The attached chain permits secure anchoring to drapes, a clamp, or an external fixation point to maintain wedge position without continuous manual support.

Design & Configuration

The wedge geometry produces a gradual, controllable lift that reduces focal pressure while maintaining space between tissues or between tissue and instruments. A non-abrasive rubber surface minimizes tissue trauma and slippage. The integrated chain allows the device to be fixed in place—either by attaching directly to a hemostat or by securing to drapes or table fixtures—so the wedge remains stable throughout the procedure. The compact, low-profile form factor is intended to be unobtrusive in confined operative fields.
