Obwegeser Surgical Retractor 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Operative Access

The 8 3/4" Obwegeser Retractor Original down 70×14 is a surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support working access during procedures. Its down-profile form helps position the retractor in relation to the operative field, while the 8.75" overall length provides a practical balance of reach and handling. It can support general surgery workflows as well as maxillofacial procedures where organized exposure and steady instrument positioning are important. By helping maintain a clear working area, this retractor can contribute to a more orderly setup and reduce the need for repeated repositioning during focused surgical tasks.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Assist with access and field organization in maxillofacial surgery.
• Position tissue away from the operative area while other instruments are in use.
• Use the down-profile design where the instrument’s shape suits the required retraction approach.
• Incorporate into surgical setups requiring a manually controlled retractor for focused access.
