  • Title: Fiber optic surgical retractor.
    Author: Plezia RA, Smith DB.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1976 Nov; 34(11):1038. PubMed ID: 1068257.
    Abstract:
    A ramus retractor with a variable high-intensity light source has been designed. It offers access, direct high-intensity visibility, reliability, compactness, and sterilizability. We have used this modification for the past five years. It has allowed direct visibility and identification of structures in the surgical field without the use of cumbersome overhead surgical lights, headlights, or spotlights.
