Sternberg Lip Retractor 14cm

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic retraction and eversion of the lips and adjacent soft tissues to improve access and visualization of the anterior oral cavity. Commonly used during oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental procedures, cleft and reconstructive lip repairs, lesion excision, and intraoral suturing or implant work where controlled exposure of the vermilion border and labial mucosa is required.

Design & Configuration

The slender 14 cm handheld form factor balances reach with tactile control for precise retraction in confined intraoral spaces. Its profile is intended to maximize visual corridor while minimizing obstruction of the operative field, enabling the assistant or surgeon to maintain consistent soft-tissue retraction without excessive pressure on the lip. The geometry facilitates targeted eversion and gentle tissue protection during fine dissection and suturing.
