Deaver Surgical Retractor 3.8 cm (1.5)

Extended Reach for Controlled Surgical Retraction

The Deaver retractor is a surgical retractor used to hold tissue aside and help maintain visualization during operative work. Its 12-inch length provides practical reach, while the 1 1/2-inch width presents a defined working surface for controlled retraction. The hollow grip handle offers a familiar handhold for positioning and adjustment as the operative field changes. Suitable for specialty-neutral workflows, it can support exposure tasks in cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic settings when a Deaver-style retractor is appropriate. By combining extended length with a manageable working width, this instrument supports organized access and routine handling.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during cardiovascular procedures when a Deaver-style retractor is appropriate.
• Assist with maintaining access and visualization during general surgery procedures.
• Provide controlled retraction support in orthopedic operative workflows.
• Use the 12-inch length to position the retractor while keeping the handle accessible to the operator.
• Use the 1 1/2-inch working width for focused retraction within the operative field.
