8 3/4″ Obwegeser Retractor – Original Up 70×14

The 8 3/4″ Obwegeser Retractor – Original Up 70×14 is a high-quality surgical retractor specifically engineered for oral and maxillofacial surgery, craniofacial reconstruction, orthognathic procedures, and facial trauma repair. Featuring the Original Up 70 × 14 mm blade configuration , this instrument is designed to provide precise and stable soft tissue retraction while maintaining excellent visualization of deep operative fields. The upward-curved blade profile allows surgeons to retract tissues efficiently from beneath anatomical structures, improving access to the surgical site without placing excessive pressure on surrounding tissues. The Obwegeser Retractor has become a trusted instrument among oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to its ability to facilitate safe and controlled exposure during complex facial procedures. The upward-oriented blade is anatomically contoured to follow the natural curvature of the facial skeleton, making it particularly effective during mandibular, maxillary, and midfacial operations. By maintaining consistent tissue retraction, the instrument enhances surgical precision, allowing accurate osteotomies, fracture fixation, bone contouring, and implant placement while protecting adjacent nerves, vessels, and soft tissues. Manufactured from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel , the 8 3/4″ Obwegeser Retractor – Original Up 70×14 delivers excellent corrosion resistance, superior mechanical strength, and long-term durability. Precision forging and finishing ensure the instrument retains its rigidity and functional integrity after repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. It is an ideal choice for hospitals, oral surgery clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and academic medical institutions where dependable surgical instruments are essential. The 8 3/4-inch overall length provides an excellent balance between reach and maneuverability, enabling surgeons to access deep anatomical regions while maintaining precise control. Its ergonomically designed handle offers a secure grip that minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. The 70 × 14 mm upward blade provides broad yet controlled tissue retraction, making it suitable for surgeries that require consistent exposure without obstructing the operative field. A satin or matte finish minimizes glare from surgical lighting, improving visibility during intricate procedures. Smooth, atraumatic blade edges are carefully polished to reduce tissue irritation while providing secure retraction throughout surgery. These design characteristics contribute to improved surgical efficiency, meticulous dissection, and precise placement of fixation plates, screws, and other reconstructive devices. The 8 3/4″ Obwegeser Retractor – Original Up 70×14 is commonly used during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), Le Fort osteotomy, mandibular osteotomy, craniofacial reconstruction, facial trauma surgery, mandibular fracture fixation, maxillary surgery, and other oral and maxillofacial procedures. Its upward blade configuration makes it especially useful when tissue must be elevated from inferior anatomical structures to provide optimal access. Designed for repeated professional use, this surgical retractor is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization procedures. Its premium stainless steel construction resists corrosion, staining, and mechanical wear, ensuring dependable performance over years of clinical service. Combining precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability, the 8 3/4″ Obwegeser Retractor – Original Up 70×14 is an essential instrument for modern oral and maxillofacial surgical practices.
