Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for Accessible Surgical Fields

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original up 25×7 is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support access to the operative field. Its dedicated retractor format provides a practical option for maintaining exposure during procedures where steady positioning and clear visualization are important. The 8.75" overall length supports instrument handling across general surgery workflows, while its named Obwegeser design is also relevant to maxillofacial surgery applications. By helping maintain space at the working site, this retractor can support organized instrument use and reduce the need for repeated manual repositioning during focused surgical tasks.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to support exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Maintaining access and visualization around a surgical working field.
• Supporting controlled retraction in maxillofacial surgery workflows.
• Using the 8.75" instrument length where measured reach and practical handling are required.
• Incorporating a dedicated retractor into instrument setups for procedures requiring sustained tissue displacement.
