The 08-187-12 is a compact handheld instrument intended for procedures where maneuverability within a restricted operative field is important. Measuring 12 cm overall, its smaller profile makes it practical for controlled handling around limited surgical access points and smaller working areas.
For facilities maintaining specialized tissue retractors, this instrument can provide a useful option when precise manual positioning is needed without introducing unnecessary bulk into the operative field.
Key characteristics include:
* Compact profile: The 12 cm length supports close-range handling and positioning in confined areas.
* Working contour: The shaped end provides a defined contact point for controlled soft tissue retraction.
* Handheld configuration: Its manual format allows assisting personnel to adjust positioning and traction as procedural requirements change.
* Stainless steel construction: The metallic design supports repeated clinical handling and processing when compatible with facility protocols.
The 08-187-12 combines compact proportions with practical manual control, making it suitable for surgical trays where smaller instruments are needed. Its size can be particularly useful when working around limited access points or when a larger retractor could interfere with nearby instruments.
For healthcare facilities looking to maintain a versatile range of surgical instruments, this compact model offers a practical addition to minor and specialized procedure sets.
