Maunder Oral Screw wooden

Clinical Application

Provides controlled, incremental mouth opening and stabilization during intraoral procedures. Commonly used to secure and maintain oral access for tooth extraction, intraoral instrumentation, reduction and fixation of mandibular fractures, and other dental, oral‑maxillofacial and ENT interventions where steady exposure and protection of the dentition and soft tissues are required.

Design & Configuration

The screw-driven design allows gradual, precise separation and stable maintenance of mouth opening compared with manual retraction. Wooden contact surfaces distribute pressure across teeth and soft tissues to reduce point loading on enamel and minimize mucosal trauma. The linear screw action facilitates fine adjustment and controlled release, enabling the surgeon to reposition or remove the device without sudden movement of the mandible.
