Tracheal Retractor – Surgical Hooklet – 08-194-18

The 08-194-18 belongs to the longer-pattern range of handheld surgical instruments, with an 18 cm profile designed to provide additional reach during tissue exposure. Its extended configuration gives assisting personnel room to position the instrument while maintaining direct manual control over the working end.
For facilities building comprehensive sets of surgical retractor instruments, this model provides a useful longer-length option alongside more compact instruments.
Its practical characteristics include:
* Extended 18 cm profile: Offers additional working distance for procedures requiring access beyond superficial tissue planes.
* Contoured working end: Provides a defined contact area for positioning against appropriate tissue margins.
* Manual operation: Allows assistants to adjust placement and traction throughout the procedure.
* Durable metal construction: Supports regular clinical handling and processing when compatible with facility protocols.
* Long shaft configuration: Keeps the hand farther from the immediate working area while maintaining control.
The 08-194-18 can complement general and specialized surgical instrument inventories where different lengths are required for varying operative access conditions. Rather than relying on a single standard size, facilities can select the appropriate profile according to the working depth and procedural requirements.
With its longer reach and straightforward handheld configuration, this instrument is a practical addition to professional surgical trays maintained by hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities.
