12.5 cm, 4 3/4″
The 08-207-12 is a compact 12 cm handheld instrument designed for controlled tissue exposure where the operative field provides limited room for larger instruments. Its short profile allows surgical personnel to work close to the incision while retaining direct control over positioning and manual traction.
Adding compact surgical retractors to a procedure-specific tray gives healthcare teams a practical option when instrument size and maneuverability are important considerations.
The instrument’s characteristics include:
* 12 cm length: Supports close-range handling in smaller operative areas.
* Working tip: Provides a defined contact surface for positioning appropriate tissue margins.
* Handheld format: Allows the assisting professional to adjust placement throughout the procedure.
* Stainless steel construction: Provides a durable body for professional clinical use and routine processing when compatible with facility protocols.
* Compact proportions: Help limit unnecessary interference with surrounding instruments.
The 08-207-12 can complement larger models in general surgical or specialty instrument inventories. Its smaller dimensions make it useful when a full-length instrument could restrict movement or occupy more space than necessary.
For hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and medical distributors, maintaining several instrument sizes allows procurement teams to build more adaptable procedure trays. This compact model provides a straightforward option for cases requiring controlled manual tissue exposure in a restricted field.
