Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for Clear, Consistent Surgical Access

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original down 55×12 is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue away from the operative field, helping maintain access and visibility during procedures. Its dedicated retractor form supports controlled placement and steady handling when a clear working area is needed. The instrument is relevant to general surgery workflows and to maxillofacial surgery, where access around contoured anatomical areas may require deliberate retraction. Its 8.75-inch overall length provides a defined working size for instrument selection and setup. Use it as part of a coordinated technique, following facility protocols for handling and reprocessing.

Use Cases

• Supporting tissue retraction during general surgery procedures where a clear operative field is required.
• Assisting maxillofacial surgery workflows that call for deliberate retraction around the operative site.
• Maintaining access and visibility while a surgical team performs focused work within the exposed area.
• Providing a defined 8.75-inch instrument option when selecting retractors for procedural setup.
