Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is a Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor used for?
A: Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor is an ENT and oral surgery instrument designed to gently and securely depress the tongue to hold it out of the way, allowing the surgeon to access the entire oral cavity, throat and structures. It’s commonly employed in tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and other ENT surgeries, and in oral surgery to retract mucoperiosteal flaps, the cheeks, lips and tongue from the surgical site.

Q: What is the length of Grey Medical’s Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor?
A: Grey Medical’s Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor is 15cm (6 inches) long overall with a serrated heart-shaped tongue blade which is available in small (28mm wide) and large (36mm wide) sizes. The L-shaped, right-angled shank comfortably rests on the jawbone during throat and mouth surgeries.

Q: How does a Tongue Retractor differ from other retractors?
A: The Weider’s heart-shaped, serrated blade has three fenestrations (holes) that allow suction tubes to be passed through – allowing the surgical field to remain clear of fluid without the need for a separate instrument. The right angle L-shaped shank and solid ergonomic handle allow for a greater degree of control without slipping, unlike straight tongue depressors, and the inner serrations stop the tongue slipping when retracted for a long time.

Q: What is the Weider Cheek Retractor made from?
A: The Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor is made from premium German stainless steel, to ensure that the instrument is resistant to corrosion, has a long lifetime, and can be sterilised in an autoclave using standard sterilisation cycles.

Q: Can the Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor be autoclaved?
A: Yes. The Grey Medical Weider Cheek & Tongue Retractor is completely autoclavable and safe to use in steam sterilisation (134°C / 273°F) for multiple uses in a sterile environment.
