The Quinelato Reverse Langenbeck Retractor OMiQ® presents a working end that tapers gradually toward the tip. The manufacturer indicates that this gradual decrease facilitates the removal of tissues in the jaw without causing laceration, especially during fixation, when the access is most required.
Key Features
Tapered End — the gradual decrease in the end, compared with the traditional retractor, eases tissue removal in the jaw
Laceration-Sparing Profile — the manufacturer indicates that tissue is removed without causing laceration
Fixation-Stage Indication — specified for the moment of fixation, when access demand is highest
Reversed Working End — the blade turns back from the shaft, approaching tissue from the opposite side
Ring-Handle Body — an open-loop handle in surgical stainless steel for sustained retraction
