Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original up 80×16 is a surgical retractor used to hold tissue or surrounding structures aside and support access within the operative field. Its elongated form provides practical reach for controlled positioning during procedures where consistent exposure and careful instrument handling are important. The retractor can support routine workflows in General Surgery as well as access-focused tasks in Maxillofacial Surgery, without being limited to one specialty. By providing a dedicated instrument for maintaining retraction, it can help keep the working area organized while allowing the surgical team to manage exposure with deliberate, measured movements.

Use Cases

• Support controlled retraction during General Surgery procedures when access to the operative field must be maintained.
• Assist with exposure-oriented tasks in Maxillofacial Surgery where a dedicated retractor is required.
• Position and hold tissue or surrounding structures aside while the surgical team works within the field.
• Provide extended reach for retraction tasks using an instrument with an overall length of 8.75 inches.
