Buechs Cheek Retractor

The Buechs Cheek Retractor is a cheek retractor within the Aesculap Retractors range, classified under Surgical Instruments → Retractors → Cheek Retractors. It carries the BUECHS pattern designation, a named instrument pattern used in the catalogue to identify a specific, repeatable design geometry so that clinical and procurement teams can reliably reorder the same configuration. As a retractor, its role is to hold back tissue and maintain exposure of the operative field, and this instrument is oriented toward ENT, maxillofacial and ophthalmic procedures, where it supports exposure of fine anatomical structures.

In terms of design characteristics, the instrument has an overall catalogued length of 7 7/8″ (200.00 mm), recorded in both imperial and metric units. The working end is described as ERGOPLANT. Only the attributes explicitly printed in the source catalogue are reproduced here; no dimensions, materials, or finishes have been inferred beyond the printed record.

This is a standalone product represented by the single catalogue reference DX102R. It is ordered as one configuration; the specification above reflects the complete printed catalogue record for this item.

The key technical specifications, as recorded in the catalogue, are: Pattern / Design: BUECHS; Instrument Type: Cheek Retractor; Category: Retractors; Subcategory: Cheek Retractors; Length: 7 7/8″ (200.00 mm); Tip: ERGOPLANT; Registry ID: REG-080161; Manufacturer Reference: Aesculap AG / B. Braun.

In terms of application, the instrument type indicates use in ENT, maxillofacial and ophthalmic procedures. As a cheek retractor it is applied to exposure of fine anatomical structures, providing and maintaining exposure while the surgeon works. These application areas follow directly from the instrument’s catalogued type designation; the catalogue does not enumerate specific procedures, and the definitive procedural suitability, sterilisation parameters, and compatibility should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s documentation for the relevant reference.

For identification and traceability, this record is linked to its origin in the printed Aesculap catalogue at page 769, and every specification reproduced here is taken verbatim from that source. The instrument is named in the catalogue with both an English designation and a German designation, reflecting the bilingual nature of the source; the BUECHS pattern designation provides an additional, standardised way to reference the specific geometry. Internally the product is tracked under registry ID REG-080161, which keeps the catalogue reference, the product record, and any downstream store listing consistently associated. This traceability matters in a procurement context because it lets a buyer confirm that a quoted or received item corresponds exactly to the catalogued specification.

Regarding material, reprocessing, and regulatory status, the source catalogue entry for this item does not print a material specification. Aesculap reusable retractors of this class are generally manufactured in surgical-grade stainless steel, but the definitive material, surface finish, sterilisation method, and reprocessing parameters for a specific reference should be verified against the manufacturer’s instructions for use rather than assumed. No regulatory clearance, certification, or performance claim is made here; any such status should be confirmed with the manufacturer or authorised distributor for the destination market. This conservative approach keeps the listing accurate and avoids overstating what the catalogue records.

When selecting this instrument, buyers should confirm that its catalogued type and dimensions match the intended surgical access and anatomy. As a single-reference product it is ordered directly by its catalogue number, which keeps quoting, delivery, and inventory management unambiguous.
