13.5 cm, 5″
The 08-206-13 is a 13 cm handheld surgical instrument designed for controlled manual tissue positioning in relatively confined operative areas. Its intermediate compact profile offers a useful balance between maneuverability and working reach, allowing assisting personnel to position the instrument without introducing excessive bulk.
For facilities maintaining a varied selection of retractors, this 13 cm model provides an additional size option between shorter and longer instruments.
Key features include:
* 13 cm overall profile: Provides useful reach while remaining manageable in closer working areas.
* Contoured working blade: Creates a defined contact surface for positioning appropriate tissue margins.
* Handheld configuration: Gives the assistant direct control over placement and manual traction.
* Stainless steel construction: Supports regular clinical handling when cleaning and processing follow established facility procedures.
* Smooth metallic profile: Allows straightforward inspection and routine preparation after use.
The 08-206-13 can be incorporated into general or procedure-specific surgical trays where a compact, manually controlled instrument is needed. Its dimensions make it particularly useful when a 12 cm model may provide insufficient reach, while a longer instrument would be unnecessarily large.
Next Edge Surgical LLC offers this model as part of its surgical instrument range, giving healthcare procurement teams another practical option when building balanced instrument inventories.
