Obwegeser Surgical Retractor Curved 10.0 mm Blade 4.2 cm (1.7)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Comfortable Handling

The Obwegeser tissue retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside during general surgery, helping maintain access and visibility at the operative site. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the curved-down, flat 42.0 x 10.0 mm blade supports focused tissue retraction in confined working areas. The finger loop handle promotes controlled positioning and adjustment during hands-on procedures. With its straightforward configuration, this retractor supports dependable instrument handling when a broad, flat blade and curved profile are suited to the task.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain access and visualization during general surgery procedures.
• Positioning a flat blade against tissue where a curved-down profile supports the intended angle of approach.
• Using the finger loop handle for controlled placement, repositioning, and removal during manual retraction.
• Applying the 42.0 x 10.0 mm blade when a defined, 10 mm-wide contact area is appropriate for the task.
