Armor Dental TissuePro™ Soft Intraoral 12 Black Sleeves

TissuePro is the first soft non-reflective sleeve for the intraoral end of the Minnesota retractor to minimize trauma when retracting tissue. It enhances blood supply for faster healing and reduces slippage on bone. It is autoclavable for up to 30 cycles. Fits securely and safely to the Minnesota retractor and is easy to remove after the procedure. (12 instruments per bag).

TissuePro™ Sleeves are intended to be used with a Minnesota retractor to retract soft tissues such as the cheeks, lips, and tongue during dental procedures, while minimizing soft-tissue trauma and operator fatigue. The sleeve provides a protective, atraumatic barrier and a non-reflective surface to improve intraoral visibility.
