Sklar Deaver Retractor, Delicate, 5/8 x 8
A curved blade retractor used to hold back abdominal and soft tissue during general surgery, offered in a wide range of widths and lengths.
The Sklar Deaver Retractor is a classic curved blade retractor widely used in abdominal and general surgery to hold back tissue and organs, giving the surgeon a clear view and access to the operative field. The reference described here is a delicate, curved, front facing blade measuring 5/8 inch by 8 inches, suited to more confined or paediatric surgical fields where a smaller retractor blade is appropriate.
General surgeons, obstetricians and gynaecologic surgeons use Deaver retractors throughout abdominal procedures, from laparotomy to caesarean section, whenever manual tissue retraction is required. Because retraction needs vary considerably by procedure and patient size, this listing covers twelve variants spanning different widths and lengths, from smaller delicate blades up to larger sizes intended for deeper or wider surgical fields.
Hospitals building a general surgery instrument set commonly stock several Deaver retractor sizes together so that theatre staff can select the appropriate blade for each case without needing a separate order for every configuration.
