Cawood-Minnesota Tongue Retractor
The Cawood-Minnesota Tongue Retractor combines a Minnesota-style flat cheek or flap retractor body with a slender curved tongue retraction tip. Together they allow the clinician to retract the cheek, lip, or flap on one side while maintaining tongue control on the other, simplifying intraoral access during oral surgery. Polished rounded edges keep the working ends atraumatic to soft tissue throughout longer procedures. Manufactured from solid stainless steel, the instrument is corrosion-resistant and fully autoclavable. Equate Instruments supplies it for oral surgeons and general dentists who need integrated tongue and cheek retraction during extractions, implant placement, and third-molar surgery. Delivered non-sterile for in-clinic sterilisation.

Tongue Depressor 14.5 cm - Double-Ended Spatula
This double-ended stainless-steel tongue depressor is a slim rigid spatula used to hold the tongue clear of the operating field during intra-oral examination and surgical procedures.

Fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile, the instrument is designed for routine chairside reuse. Equate Instruments delivers it ready for standard steam sterilisation.
