Sklar Black Desmarres Lid Retractor, Medium
A Desmarres pattern eyelid retractor from Sklar with a black laser finish, available in three sizes, used by ophthalmic surgeons to hold back the eyelid during procedures.
The Sklar Black Laser Desmarres Lid Retractor follows the Desmarres pattern, a curved blade instrument widely used in ophthalmic surgery to hold the eyelid open and out of the way during procedures on the eye. Finished in a black, non reflective coating, it is built for use alongside a surgical laser, where a bright metal surface near the eye could reflect the beam and pose a particular safety concern given the sensitivity of ocular tissue.
This listing is available in three sizes, small at 12mm, medium at 16mm and large at 18mm in diameter, letting the ophthalmic surgeon match the retractor to the size of the eyelid and the exposure needed. Desmarres retractors are used by ophthalmic surgeons and their assisting staff during cataract, oculoplastic and other eye procedures, including those performed with laser assistance.
As a reusable instrument used in close proximity to delicate ocular tissue, it must be cleaned and sterilized with particular care between cases. Ophthalmic and laser eye surgery centres across the UAE and GCC stock Desmarres retractors of this kind.
