Controlled Retraction with a Curved, Concave Blade

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to retract soft tissue and help maintain access within the operative field.

The finger loop handle supports controlled manual handling and repositioning as exposure needs change. With an overall length of 8 3/4 inches, this retractor offers practical reach while keeping the instrument suitable for direct, responsive use in the surgical field.
