45º Retractor Serrated Edge - Posterior

KOHLER · APICECTOMY RETRACTOR

The 45 degree blade. The posterior of the pair.

One of Kohler’s two apicectomy retractors. Both carry the same 40 x 10 mm serrated blade; the only difference is the bend. This one is angled at 45 degrees and is the posterior reach of the pair.

This pack: Kohler Apicectomy Retractor, toothed · 40 x 10 mm blade · 45 degrees · single instrument · QED REF 7530

Kohler on this range: “Apicoectomy retractors, toothed. The apicoectomy retractors assist to hold the gingival flap of the gingival during the endodontic surgery.”

45 or 90 degrees?

Access, not function. The 45 degree blade sits more naturally where the approach is shallow and from the side – posterior work. The 90 degree version turns the blade square to the shaft for a straight-on anterior approach. Trays that do both usually carry one of each.

Why serrated

A plain blade holds the flap by pressure alone and can creep. The toothed edge is there to keep the blade seated once it is placed.
