Obwegeser Surgical Retractor Curved 16.0 mm Blade 8.0 cm (3.1)

Controlled Retraction for General Surgical Exposure

The Obwegeser tissue retractor is a hand-held instrument used to gently hold tissue aside and help maintain access within a general surgical field. Its 8 3/4-inch length and curved-down, flat 80.0 x 16.0 mm blade support positioning around the operative site, while the finger loop handle provides a defined point of control during placement and adjustment. The broad, flat blade profile is suited to task-focused tissue retraction where a stable contact surface and practical handling are important. Its straightforward configuration supports organized instrument handling through exposure, repositioning, and removal.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain visualization of the operative field during general surgery.
• Positioning the curved-down blade around tissue when access requires a shaped approach.
• Using the finger loop handle to place, adjust, and remove the retractor with controlled hand positioning.
• Supporting exposure tasks where the 80.0 x 16.0 mm flat blade provides a broad contact surface.
