The Quinelato Self-Retaining TMJ Retractor locks open on its own and holds the temporomandibular joint field without a hand on the instrument. Once set, it maintains constant tension on the wound margins so the surgical team can commit both hands to the procedure.
Key Features
Self-Retaining Frame — the instrument holds its own spread once positioned, freeing an assistant from the retraction.
Constant Wound Tension — retraction stays at the set width instead of drifting through the case.
Joint-Field Contour — shaped for the compact preauricular window used to reach the joint.
Gentle Margin Contact — finished borders ease pressure on skin edges and fascia held apart for long periods.
Long-Service Steel Construction — autoclavable stainless build that reprocesses between cases without degradation.
