Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor 8 3/4" curved up 25.0mm x 7.0mm wide concave blade, finger loop handle

Controlled Retraction with a Comfortable Finger-Loop Grip

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is designed to hold soft tissue aside during general surgery, helping maintain a workable field while the surgeon or assistant performs focused manipulation. Its curved-up profile and concave 25.0 mm x 7.0 mm blade provide a defined contact surface for tissue retraction, while the 8 3/4-inch length supports access beyond the hand. The finger loop handle offers a familiar point of control for positioning and adjustment during sustained use. This combination supports organized handling when dependable exposure and deliberate instrument placement are needed in soft-tissue retraction tasks.

Use Cases

• Retracting soft tissue to help maintain visualization of the operative field during general surgery.
• Using the curved-up profile to position the blade around tissue contours during controlled retraction.
• Applying the concave blade surface for deliberate soft-tissue handling rather than pointed or toothed engagement.
• Using the finger loop handle to support controlled placement, repositioning, and removal.
• Employing the 8 3/4-inch instrument length when additional reach is useful within the operative field.
