Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for Clear, Accessible Surgical Fields

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original down 25×7 is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support access during operative work. Its named Obwegeser pattern provides a familiar instrument profile for procedures requiring deliberate retraction and unobstructed visualization, while the 8 3/4" overall length offers practical reach within the operative field. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery, it can support controlled exposure during open procedures without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument set. Its focused design makes it a practical choice when dependable manual retraction and consistent handling are required.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue to help maintain access and visualization during general surgical procedures.
• Support controlled exposure when working within deeper or less accessible operative fields.
• Assist maxillofacial surgical workflows that require deliberate manual retraction around the operative site.
• Use as part of a retractor set for procedures requiring an Obwegeser-pattern instrument.
• Position and adjust manually to support the surgeon's preferred approach during open operative tasks.
