Obwegeser Surgical Retractor Curved 7.0 mm Blade 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Secure Handling

The Obwegeser tissue retractor is a hand-held surgical instrument used to retract tissue and help maintain exposure during general surgery. Its 8 3/4-inch length supports access to the operative field, while the curved-down, flat blade provides a defined retraction surface for positioning tissue. The 25.0 mm x 7.0 mm blade dimensions offer a compact profile for targeted use, and the finger loop handle supports controlled manipulation during placement and adjustment. This configuration is suited to workflows that require deliberate tissue handling, dependable positioning, and a clear working view without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain exposure during general surgical procedures.
• Using the curved-down blade to position tissue away from the operative field.
• Applying controlled hand manipulation through the finger loop handle during placement and adjustment.
• Supporting targeted retraction where a 25.0 mm x 7.0 mm flat blade is appropriate.
• Incorporating a long-handled retractor into general surgery instrument setups requiring practical reach.
