Wangen Holder with Lip Protection Option

15cm
Cheek and lip retraction during oral and maxillofacial procedures calls for an instrument that holds soft tissue securely without causing unnecessary irritation, and the Wangen Holder (NES-2407) is built for exactly that. At 15cm, it’s available in configurations with or without lip protection, giving practitioners a choice based on the sensitivity of the surrounding tissue.
The lip protection feature adds a layer of cushioning where the instrument contacts the lip, reducing the risk of pinching or bruising during extended retraction. For cases where this extra protection isn’t necessary, the standard configuration offers a simpler, more direct working surface.
This kind of holder is a routine part of maxillofacial access, keeping the cheek and lip out of the surgical field so the practitioner can work with clear visibility. Its 15cm length is well suited to standard access needs without adding unnecessary bulk to the working area.
Stainless steel construction gives the Wangen Holder the durability to handle daily clinical use and repeated sterilization cycles, maintaining its shape and function over time.
For practices doing regular oral and maxillofacial procedures, having both protected and unprotected versions of this holder on hand offers useful flexibility. See more mouth gag and holder instruments in our Maxillofacial Surgery Instruments collection.
