18 cm, 7″
The 08-583-18 Deaver retractor is an 18 cm, 7 inch instrument intended for controlled surgical exposure. The Deaver pattern is widely recognized for its broad, curved blade form, which is used to move tissue away from the operative area and improve access to the structures being addressed. Because the product page identifies the model as a Deaver and lists only its overall length, this description focuses on the established role of the pattern without assigning an unsupported blade width or material specification. This instrument is offered within the surgical retractors category.
At 18 cm, this version provides a comparatively compact Deaver option. That size can be useful when a shorter instrument is preferred for positioning, especially where the operative field does not require the reach associated with longer Deaver patterns. The curved blade concept distributes contact across a broader area than a narrow hook, making the pattern useful when the surgical technique calls for broader tissue displacement.
* 18 cm overall length: Provides a compact size for controlled placement and handling.
* Deaver pattern: Uses the established broad, curved blade concept associated with tissue retraction and operative exposure.
* Hand positioning: The shorter profile allows direct manipulation when the working field is relatively accessible.
* Tray organization: The clearly listed 7 inch size helps staff distinguish this model from longer Deaver instruments.
Select the instrument according to the procedure, anatomy, and surgeon’s established technique. The page does not confirm a specific material or sterilization method, so processing should follow validated facility protocols and applicable manufacturer instructions. Add this compact Deaver option to a surgical instrument set where its size and blade pattern are appropriate.
