Obwegeser Retractor - Curved Upward, 22 cm, (14 x 70 mm) | Helmut Zepf No. 38.445.06

Helmut Zepf No. 38.445.06 is the narrower of the two curved-upward Obwegeser retractors in this range: a 22 cm instrument with a 14 × 70 mm blade, made in Germany by Helmut Zepf GmbH. The smaller blade footprint suits exposure through more limited incisions or in narrower anatomical corridors, while the upward curve keeps the surgeon's hand out of the line of sight.

Why choose the 14 × 70 mm blade

Generally speaking, the 14 mm wide, 70 mm long blade is selected when the working space is confined — for example retracting periosteal flaps along the mandibular body, around the anterior maxilla, or in patients with smaller anatomy — where the 16 × 80 mm version would be bulkier than necessary. If you need broader soft-tissue coverage or a longer reach around the ramus for orthognathic osteotomies, the wider 38.445.07 blade is the alternative.

Also available: Zepf No. 38.445.07 – 16 × 80 mm blade.
