Inge Surgical Retractor 3.2 cm (1.3)

Controlled Retraction for Dental Access

The Inge lamina self-retaining spreader is a dental retraction instrument designed to hold tissue or structures apart during procedures, helping maintain a more consistent working field without requiring continuous manual positioning. Its self-retaining design supports stable placement, while the toothed jaws provide a defined contact pattern for controlled engagement. With a 6 1/4-inch length and 32.0 mm jaw opening, it offers practical reach and a measured span for dental tasks that require access and visualization. The instrument’s spreader format supports organized handling during procedures where maintaining separation is part of the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Use for self-retaining spreading and retraction during dental procedures.
• Position the toothed jaws where controlled engagement is required to help maintain separation.
• Use the 32.0 mm jaw opening for tasks requiring a defined spreading span.
• Use the 6 1/4-inch length to support access within the dental working field.
• Incorporate into dental instrument setups where stable retraction is needed during tissue or structure handling.

Specifications
