Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor 8 3/4" curved up 42.0mm x 10.0mm wide concave blade, finger loop handle

Controlled Retraction with a Curved, Concave Blade

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold soft tissue aside during general surgery. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides working reach, while the curved-up profile and 42.0 mm x 10.0 mm wide concave blade support positioning around the operative field. The finger loop handle offers a defined gripping point for controlled placement and adjustment during tissue exposure. This configuration is suited to workflows where a focused retraction surface and practical instrument handling are needed without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical setup.

Use Cases

• Retracting soft tissue to maintain working access during general surgery procedures.
• Positioning the curved-up blade around tissue contours at the operative site.
• Using the concave blade surface for focused soft tissue engagement during exposure.
• Adjusting retraction manually through the finger loop handle as the surgical field changes.

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor promptly after use according to facility protocols and applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the curved blade, concave surface, and finger loop handle for visible residue, damage, or distortion before reuse.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve its shape and working surface.
• Store the retractor so the blade and handle are protected from contact damage.

General use; follow facility protocols.
