OBWEGESER CURVED UP 10MM X 42MM 24,0CM

OBWEGESER RETRACTOR • UPWARDS CURVED • 10x42MM • 24.0 CM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Tall Broad Hook for Advanced Exposure in Midfacial and Orbital Surgery

The OBWEGESER Retractor upwards curved, 10x42mm, 24.0 cm is a Class I medical device according to ISO 13485:2016. This special variant with a particularly tall (42 mm) and broad (10 mm) upward-curved tip is a highly developed instrument for oral, maxillofacial, facial plastic, and oculoplastic surgery. It enables deep and stable retraction of soft tissues for optimal visibility in demanding anatomical regions.

Advantages of the OBWEGESER Retractor (upwards curved, 10x42mm):

• Depth Effectiveness with Upward Retraction: The tall tip (42 mm) allows reaching and safely retracting deep tissue layers upward, ideal for exposing the orbital region, maxillary sinus, or deep midface.
• Optimal Exposure for Complex Procedures: Indispensable for treating orbital floor fractures, extensive tumor resections in the midface, or reconstructive procedures following trauma.
• Stable Hold with Minimal Obstruction: The combination of width and height provides a large contact area for stable retraction, while the slender shaft hardly obstructs the visual field.
• Ideal for Orbital Access: Specially suited for gently retracting orbital contents or periocular soft tissues during orbital surgery.
• Versatile in Reconstructive Facial Surgery: Valuable tool for exposing the zygoma, frontal process of the maxilla, and nasal root.

Fields of Application:

• Orbital surgery (orbital floor reconstruction, decompression, tumor resections)
• Treatment of complex midfacial fractures (including naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures)
• Reconstructive procedures following tumor resection in the nose, zygoma, and maxilla area
• Aesthetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty
• Access to the maxillary sinus for extensive procedures
• Exposure of the infraorbital nerve in the infraorbital canal

Important Application Notes:

• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED OMFS, FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY, OR OCULOPLASTIC SURGERY SPECIALISTS ONLY.
• High-precision instrument in critical anatomical proximity. Utmost caution is required to protect the optic nerve, extraocular muscles, infraorbital nerve, and lacrimal apparatus.
• Before each use, the perfect structural integrity and correct curvature of the tall tip must be verified. Any deformity is unacceptable.
• The instrument is for gentle soft tissue retraction. Absolutely contraindicated as a lever or for retracting bony fragments in the orbital area.
• During orbital procedures, pressure on the globe and optic nerve must be constantly monitored and minimized.
• Due to the height, particularly controlled, measured force application is required.
• Discard immediately at the slightest bending or damage to the tip – repair is not possible.
