Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor 8 3/4" curved up 80.0mm x 16.0mm wide concave blade, finger loop handle

Controlled Soft-Tissue Retraction for General Surgery

The Obwegeser original soft tissue retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor used to gently hold soft tissue aside during general-surgery procedures, helping maintain access and a clearer working area. Its curved-up profile and concave 80.0 mm x 16.0 mm blade are suited to controlled placement around the operative field, while the finger loop handle supports deliberate repositioning and instrument control. The 8 3/4-inch length offers useful reach for routine exposure tasks without adding unnecessary complexity to the setup. This configuration provides a focused option for soft-tissue retraction and organized procedural handling.

Use Cases

• Retract soft tissue to support access to the operative field during general-surgery procedures.
• Use the curved-up, concave blade profile where controlled placement around contoured tissue is needed.
• Maintain soft-tissue positioning while the surgical team performs focused procedural tasks.
• Use the finger loop handle for deliberate instrument handling and repositioning during exposure.
