Deaver Surgical Retractor 26.7 cm (10.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Deaver retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue displacement and support visualization during operative access. Its 10 1/2-inch length provides practical reach for positioning within the surgical field, while the 1-inch-wide flat handle offers a straightforward gripping surface for controlled handling. In General Surgery, it can support exposure during open procedures where steady retraction is needed. Its familiar form is also relevant to Neurosurgery workflows when dependable manual tissue retraction is required. The focused design helps teams select a simple, purpose-built instrument for routine retraction tasks without adding unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases
