A hand-held dental retractor is a reusable surgical instrument designed to manually push aside soft tissues inside the mouth. This displacement improves visibility and access to the surgical site while also offering protection to those tissues during oral procedures. The device typically consists of a metal handle and a shaped or hooked blade.
These instruments are classified as reusable medical devices and are typically supplied through standard medical distribution channels. They are intended for use by dental and oral surgery professionals who require manual tissue retraction during various clinical interventions.
