Obwegeser Surgical Retractor Curved 5.0 mm Blade 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Soft-Tissue Retraction for General Surgery

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is designed to hold soft tissue aside during general surgical procedures, helping maintain access to the operative area while the surgeon works. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides practical reach, while the curved-down profile and 16.0 mm x 5.0 mm wide concave blade support focused tissue retraction. The finger loop handle offers a defined gripping point for controlled positioning and adjustment. As a hand-held retractor, it is suited to workflows where the surgical team needs a compact instrument for exposure, tissue handling, and maintaining a clear working field.

Use Cases

• Retracting soft tissue to help maintain access to the operative site during general surgery.
• Using the curved-down profile to position the blade around tissue contours during exposure.
• Applying focused retraction with the 16.0 mm x 5.0 mm concave blade.
• Maintaining instrument control through the finger loop handle during repositioning and removal.
