Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for General and Maxillofacial Surgical Access

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original up 55×12 is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support a clearer operative field during controlled retraction. Its 8 3/4" overall length provides a practical reach for instrument handling in both General Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery workflows. By maintaining retraction during focused tasks, it can help organize access and reduce the need for repeated manual tissue positioning. The Obwegeser pattern is suited to procedure-specific exposure work where steady, deliberate manipulation is important. Use it as part of the facility’s established instrument selection and handling protocols.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with operative exposure when a retractor with an 8 3/4" overall length is appropriate.
• Use during Maxillofacial Surgery workflows requiring deliberate retraction and access management.
• Help maintain an organized surgical field during focused exposure tasks.
• Incorporate into instrument sets for procedures involving manual tissue retraction.
