Technical Description
An illuminating cheek retractor capable of being affixed into the oral cavity of a patient and providing light for the examination of oral cavity; without any external power source.

b) a fiber reinforced latch and adjustable screwis provided, to control unrestrained opening or closing, thereby minimizing the damage due to the uncontrolled elastic reflex of the material;
c) the chambers housing the fluid reaction are lined with a reflective coating on the inner surface to aid in better and uniform illumination;
d) a valve at the split junction is provided capable of attaching reversibly attachable components, for providing multi-functionality, the purpose of detachable components is to facilitate easy cleaning and sterilization;
e) a tongue guard with adhesive base chemiluminscent pads are provided to be attached on the undersurface of the tongue area for the dual purpose of isolation and illumination; and
f) nitrous oxide can be delivered through the retractor efficiently as an anesthetic.
