Desmarres Surgical Retractor 12.0 mm Blade 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Eyelid Retraction for Versatile Surgical Access

The Desmarres lid retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to gently hold the eyelid aside during procedures requiring access and visualization around the eye. Its 4 3/4-inch length provides practical reach for controlled positioning, while the 12.0mm width offers a defined contact surface for retraction. The titanium construction supports a lightweight, durable instrument suitable for repeated professional handling. Appropriate across General Surgery, Ophthalmic, and Plastic Surgery settings, this retractor can help organize the operative field while allowing the user to maintain deliberate control during positioning, adjustment, and removal.
