12" Deaver Retractor width 1 1/2" #3

Reach and controlled exposure for demanding surgical access

The 12" Deaver Retractor, with a 1 1/2" width, is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue displacement and support visualization during operative access. Its extended length provides useful reach when working around deeper fields, while the broad retractor profile supports controlled positioning across the selected area. In General Surgery, it can assist with exposure during procedures requiring sustained access to deeper anatomy. Neurosurgery teams may also use this Deaver retractor where a handheld instrument of this size and form is appropriate to the operative approach. Its straightforward design supports familiar handling and efficient instrument workflow.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and maintain access during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with exposure of deeper operative fields where a 12" instrument provides useful reach.
• Help support visualization while the surgical team positions and maintains the retractor.
• Provide a handheld retraction option for selected Neurosurgery procedures when its size and form suit the approach.
