Gingival Retractors are professional dental instruments designed to separate gingival tissue and improve access to the clinical area during dental procedures. The working end is specially shaped so that the concave side faces the tooth and the convex side rests against the gingiva, allowing effective and controlled gingival retraction.
This design helps expose the clinical area more clearly, making dental procedures more convenient and precise. Gingival retractors are commonly used when better visibility and access around the tooth are needed during restorative and other dental procedures.
To meet different clinical preferences and procedural requirements, this product is available in four handle styles and sizes:
- E6 – φ5.5 mm octagonal handle
- R6 – φ6.5 mm solid round handle
- KPT1 – φ9.5 mm hollow round handle
- KPT2 – φ9.5 mm hollow round handle
These options provide flexibility for different handling preferences and clinical applications.
