Obwegeser Surgical Retractor Curved 14.0 mm Blade 7.0 cm (2.8)

Controlled Tissue Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The Obwegeser tissue retractor is a hand-held instrument for retracting tissue during general surgery, helping maintain access while the operative area is being worked on. Its 8 3/4-inch length and curved-down, flat 70.0 x 14.0 mm blade support controlled positioning where a shaped profile is useful for access and exposure. The finger loop handle provides a defined grasp for deliberate placement and adjustment during handling. Designed for practical manual retraction, this instrument can support routine tissue-management tasks without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical setup. Its compact blade width also makes it suitable for focused retraction within the working field.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain a workable surgical field during general surgery procedures.
• Positioning the curved-down blade where a shaped retractor profile supports access and exposure.
• Using the finger loop handle for controlled placement, adjustment, and removal during manual retraction.
• Supporting focused tissue handling when a 70.0 x 14.0 mm flat blade is appropriate for the working area.
