Deaver Surgical Retractor 20.0 cm (8")

Controlled Retraction Across Surgical Workflows

The Deaver retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain exposure by gently holding tissue or structures aside during operative work. Its 8-inch length and 5/8-inch-wide blade provide a compact profile for controlled positioning, while the flat handle supports straightforward manual handling. This configuration can fit naturally into cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows where dependable access and visualization are important. Its focused blade dimensions may help support precise placement in the operative field without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Assist with maintaining access around cardiovascular operative sites when a compact handheld retractor is appropriate.
• Provide controlled manual retraction during neurosurgical workflows where careful instrument positioning is required.
• Support exposure and tissue management in orthopedic procedures as part of a coordinated surgical instrument setup.
