Desmarres Surgical Retractor 10.0 mm Blade 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Lid Retraction Across Surgical Workflows

The Desmarres lid retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to hold the eyelid aside during procedures that require access and visualization around the eye. Its 5 1/2-inch length supports practical instrument handling, while the 10.0mm-wide insulated blade provides a defined retraction surface. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip for controlled positioning during general surgery, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows. By maintaining separation of the lid from the working area, this instrument can help organize access while allowing the clinician to focus on the operative task and surrounding tissue handling.

Use Cases

• Support eyelid retraction during ophthalmic procedures requiring access to the ocular region.
• Provide controlled lid positioning during general surgery workflows involving examination or operative access around the eye.
• Assist with eyelid management during plastic surgery procedures in the periorbital area.
• Use the 10.0mm-wide blade to maintain a defined contact area during manual retraction.
• Position and adjust the retractor by its flat handle as access or visualization requirements change.
