Desmarres Surgical Retractor 8.0 mm Blade 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Lid Retraction for Clearer Procedural Access

The Desmarres lid retractor is a handheld ophthalmic retractor designed to lift and hold the eyelid during procedures that require controlled access and visualization. Its 4 3/4-inch length and 8mm width provide a practical format for positioning within a focused operative field, while the titanium construction supports a lightweight, durable instrument feel for repeated handling. The round handle is suited to deliberate manipulation as the clinician maintains retraction. Although commonly associated with ophthalmic work, this retractor may also support selected general surgery and plastic surgery tasks where measured eyelid or soft-tissue retraction is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Support controlled eyelid retraction during ophthalmic procedures requiring access to the operative field.
• Assist with focused soft-tissue positioning in selected general surgery workflows where a lid retractor is appropriate.
• Provide measured retraction during plastic surgery procedures involving the eyelid or adjacent soft tissue.
• Use the round handle for deliberate positioning and adjustment while maintaining access to a confined field.
