Desmarres Surgical Retractor 14.0 mm Blade 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Eyelid Retraction for Versatile Surgical Access

The Desmarres lid retractor is a hand-held instrument designed to retract the eyelid and help maintain access to the operative field. Its 4 3/4-inch length, #2 configuration, and 14.0 mm wide stainless blade provide a defined working profile for controlled handling, while the round titanium handle supports a familiar, balanced grip during positioning. Suitable for general surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and plastic surgery applications, it offers practical support when consistent lid retraction and unobstructed visualization are needed. The focused blade-and-handle design helps clinicians position the instrument deliberately while managing routine surgical workflow demands.

Use Cases

• Retracting the eyelid to support access and visualization during ophthalmic procedures.
• Maintaining practical exposure around the eye during general surgical workflows involving eyelid retraction.
• Supporting controlled lid positioning in plastic surgery procedures where access to the operative area is required.
• Using the 14.0 mm wide blade for deliberate contact and positioning during soft-tissue retraction.
• Handling the instrument through its round titanium handle for steady manual placement and adjustment.
