GDC Halfmoon retractor (TRA3) is used to displace soft tissues to improve vision and access and to afford them protection during oral surgical procedures.

Gaining access to the surgical site is of prime concern in surgeries like the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, removal of cysts or tumors, surgeries involving upper or lower jaw bones, etc. In order to have the needed visibility, dental surgeons use Austin retractors.These are L-shaped instruments with one working and one non-working end. The working end can be shaped like a half moon, can be forked, or can be of a regular rectangular pattern. These retractors are used such that soft tissues like cheeks, lips and the periosteal flaps are displaced away or retracted from the surgical area. The periosteal flaps are those tissues that are incised and raised in order to expose the underlying structures. The L-shape helps in better handling of the instrument. A half-moon patterned working end is used when retraction of soft issues needs to be done without risk of any trauma or injury to that tissue. A forked and rectangular pattern helps in better gripping the soft tissues.The command over Austin retractors becomes especially essential when multiple instruments need to be placed inside the oral cavity during the operation.
