Hager Worldwide has announced a new advancement in hands-free retraction with the introduction of its Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractor. This versatile, durable, and reusable retractor is made from 100% medical grade silicon that is ultra-durable and latex-free. It is also autoclavable for reuse, reducing clinical waste and providing cost savings when compared with disposable retractors. Tested over 1,000 autoclave cycles, a single Spandex Advanced is equivalent to more than 12 boxes of 80 single-use retractors.

The retractor is designed for multi applications and demonstrates high retention. The innovative flexible design moves with the lips and cheeks, providing secure and comfortable retraction when the mouth is open or closed, and its versatile applications include hygiene procedures, whitening, digital dentistry, use of a photo-contraster, restorative dentistry, and orthodontics. In addition, the Spandex Advanced provides full-lip coverage for extra protection from sharps, rotaries, whitening agents, and more.

Spandex Advanced Lip & Cheek Retractors are available for order through your preferred dental dealer.
