The 08-189-15 is a 15 cm handheld instrument designed to assist surgical personnel with controlled soft tissue exposure. Its contoured working end provides a broad contact area that can be positioned against appropriate tissue margins when a stable operative corridor is required.
For operating rooms stocking specialized handheld surgical retractors, the 08-189-15 offers a practical option for procedures requiring direct manual positioning and sustained exposure.
Its design can be considered through several functional features:
* Broad working surface: Provides a defined area of contact for positioning against tissue during manual retraction.
* 15 cm profile: Offers a useful balance between reach and close control.
* Handheld configuration: Allows surgical assistants to adjust the instrument’s position according to the changing requirements of the procedure.
* Stainless steel construction: Supports repeated clinical handling and processing when used according to established facility protocols.
* Satin surface: A subdued finish can help limit distracting reflections under strong operating-room illumination.
The combination of moderate length and a contoured working end makes this instrument a useful component of general surgical trays. It can be selected when staff need a straightforward manual option for maintaining access to the operative field.
