Deaver retractor 12long x 2wide, hollow grip handle

Controlled Retraction Across Surgical Workflows

The Deaver retractor is a handheld surgical instrument designed to support tissue retraction and exposure during open procedures. Its 12-inch length provides useful reach into the operative field, while the 2-inch-wide blade offers a broad contact surface for positioning against tissue. The hollow grip handle supports controlled manual handling during sustained retraction. Suitable for general surgery and adaptable to cardiovascular, neurosurgical, and orthopedic workflows, this retractor helps teams maintain access and visualization while working around the demands of different operative fields. Its straightforward design supports familiar handling and efficient instrument selection.

Use Cases

• Support manual retraction and exposure during open general surgery procedures.
• Provide reach for positioning within cardiovascular operative fields where controlled tissue retraction is required.
• Assist with exposure tasks in neurosurgical procedures when a handheld retractor is appropriate.
• Support orthopedic surgical workflows requiring broad, manually controlled retraction.
• Use the hollow grip handle to maintain a steady hand position while adjusting the retractor during the procedure.
