- Large ergonomic handle – Fills the hand better than a standard flat Minnesota handle for a stronger, more controlled grip.
- Hooked terminal end – Improves pull control and helps the instrument stay secure in hand during sustained retraction.
- Classic Minnesota blade profile – Maintains the familiar working end used to retract cheek, lip, flap, and tongue.
- Heavier 98 g build – Adds a more planted, stable feel when firm retraction must be maintained over time.
- Built for longer cases – Well suited for transnasal, zygomatic, implant, and extended flap procedures.
- Power Line upgrade – A more substantial, performance-driven take on the traditional Minnesota retractor.
- Autoclavable stainless steel – Reusable surgical instrument for routine sterilization and repeated clinical use.

Product Description
The Power University of Minnesota Retractor is built for cases where a standard Minnesota starts to feel too small, too flat, and too fatiguing in the hand. In routine retraction, the traditional pattern works. But in longer procedures – especially when holding flaps open for extended periods or maintaining firm cheek and soft tissue retraction – the thin handle can become a weak point. This Power Line version was designed to solve that.
Instead of a flat lightweight profile, this instrument features a large ergonomic handle with deep contours and a pronounced hooked end that gives the hand more to hold onto. The result is a more secure grip, better leverage, and less hand strain during demanding cases. The broad Minnesota-style blade keeps the familiar working end clinicians rely on, while the heavier, more substantial body helps the instrument feel steadier under load.
It is particularly well suited for transnasal access, zygomatic procedures, general implant surgery, and extended flap management, where retraction may need to be maintained longer and with more consistency than a standard Minnesota comfortably allows. Made from surgical stainless steel and fully autoclavable, this is a more powerful Minnesota-style retractor for clinicians who want greater control during longer surgeries.
