Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor 8 3/4" curved up 35.0mm x 10.0mm wide concave blade, finger loop handle

Controlled Soft Tissue Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is a general surgery instrument designed to hold soft tissue aside during procedures, helping maintain access to the operative field. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides practical reach, while the curved-up profile and 35.0 mm x 10.0 mm wide concave blade support localized tissue retraction. The finger loop handle offers a defined grasp for controlled positioning and adjustment during use. As a focused retractor for soft tissue handling, it supports organized instrument work where access and visualization depend on maintaining tissue displacement without obstructing the working area.

Use Cases

• Retracting soft tissue to help maintain access to the operative field during general surgery procedures.
• Using the curved-up profile to position the blade around or over tissue within the surgical site.
• Applying the wide concave blade to support localized soft tissue retraction.
• Holding and adjusting the instrument through its finger loop handle during procedural handling.
• Supporting surgical workflows that require a dedicated manual retractor with an 8 3/4-inch length.
