Sklar Deaver Skeleton Grip Handle Retractor, 12"
A Deaver style retractor fitted with a skeleton grip handle for a more comfortable, secure hold during prolonged abdominal tissue retraction.
The Sklar Deaver Skeleton Grip Handle Retractor combines the familiar curved Deaver blade profile with a lightweight, open skeleton style grip handle designed to give the operating surgeon or assistant a more comfortable and secure hold during extended periods of manual retraction. This model, model #1, measures 12 inches with a 1 inch blade width, and the wider product family covers six model and size combinations to suit different depths and widths of surgical field.
The skeleton handle reduces hand fatigue compared to a plain flat handle, which is useful in longer abdominal procedures where sustained retraction is needed to maintain exposure. General surgeons and their assistants use this style of retractor in laparotomy and other open abdominal surgery, often choosing the grip handle version specifically for cases expected to require prolonged manual retraction.
Hospitals equipping a general surgery set can select from the available model sizes to build a graduated range of retractor options, ensuring the correct blade size and handle style are available for cases of varying depth and complexity.
