MOLT / DOYEN-JANSEN 11 cm mouth retractor – Rounded shape for gentle and controlled opening
Designed specifically for the needs of oral and maxillofacial surgery, the MOLT / DOYEN-JANSEN 11 cm is a precision surgical instrument intended to keep the oral cavity open in a stable manner during procedures. This 11 cm model stands out for its compact design and intuitive handling, ideal for practitioners looking for a reliable, discreet and mechanically efficient device. Thanks to its rounded, symmetrical arms curved outwards, opening is achieved without aggressive contact, allowing pressure to be distributed evenly across the dental arches or lip corners.
The unique design of this model – instantly recognisable by its double opposing semi-circle shape – makes it the preferred choice for technical procedures requiring maximum visibility of the operating area while avoiding trauma to the mucous membranes. Each end is covered with a soft tip, ensuring protection of soft tissue and greater patient tolerance. This detail clearly distinguishes this model from other similar devices, which are often more rigid and abrasive.
The retractor is equipped with a robust ratchet locking system that allows the opening to be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the procedure. This notched mechanism ensures that the opening is held firmly in place, preventing accidental release during surgery. The ring handles are ergonomic and designed for precise handling, even in emergency situations. The entire device is made of medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring a long service life, compatibility with sterilisation cycles and impeccable hygiene.
Ideal for short or prolonged procedures, this mouth retractor offers an excellent compromise between compactness and functionality. The 11 cm version is particularly suitable for small or medium-sized oral cavities, especially in paediatric dentistry, general dental surgery or certain ENT procedures. Its mechanical simplicity combined with a protective design makes it ideal for use in demanding operating environments.
The special shape of this model – a " closed hook " with black tips – allows it to be quickly identified among other similar instruments with the same name but different dimensions or curves. This makes it a distinctive and indispensable tool in any technical tray dedicated to oral surgery.
