Tessier Cheek Retractor serr adult 25x38mm, 20.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled retraction of the cheek and lateral oral soft tissues to improve exposure in craniofacial, maxillofacial, oral and reconstructive procedures. The blade dimensions and overall length are optimized for adult anatomy, allowing surgeons to maintain a stable field while performing osteotomies, fracture repairs, orbital and zygomatic access, intraoral dissections and soft-tissue suturing. Serrations on the blade enhance tissue purchase to reduce slippage and minimize the need for frequent repositioning.

Design & Configuration

The retractor's 25 x 38 mm blade offers a broad contact area to distribute retraction forces over the cheek, while the 20.5 cm overall length provides reach into the oral vestibule and midface without crowding the operative field. Serrated blade surfaces increase grip on soft tissue for secure retraction; clinicians should balance grip with atraumatic technique to avoid focal pressure injury. The instrument’s geometry gives good leverage and hand clearance for single-operator or assistant-held retraction during deep exposures.
