Desmarres Surgical Retractor 10.0 mm Blade 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Eyelid Retraction for Clear, Consistent Access

The Desmarres lid retractor is a hand-held ophthalmic retractor designed to hold the eyelid aside during procedures requiring stable exposure. Its 4 3/4-inch length and 10.0mm-wide stainless blade support practical access in a compact instrument format, while the round titanium handle provides a defined gripping surface for controlled positioning. The size #0 configuration is suited to tasks where a narrower blade is preferred. Appropriate across General Surgery, Ophthalmic, and Plastic Surgery settings, this retractor supports organized instrument handling and unobstructed access without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical workflow.

Use Cases

• Retract the eyelid to support exposure during ophthalmic procedures.
• Provide controlled soft-tissue retraction when working near the eye in General Surgery settings.
• Support eyelid positioning during Plastic Surgery procedures involving the periocular region.
• Use the 10.0mm-wide blade for focused retraction where a compact contact area is appropriate.
• Handle and reposition the instrument using the round titanium handle during procedural setup and use.
