21.5 cm, 8
For teams that need a slightly longer Deaver option, the 08-584-21 retractor is listed at 21.5 cm, approximately 8 inches. This surgical instrument uses the established Deaver pattern, recognized for a broad, curved blade intended to move tissue aside and maintain access to the operative area. The additional length compared with the 18 cm model can give the operator a different working reach while preserving the familiar Deaver configuration. The instrument is placed in the retractors category for professional surgical use.
A 21.5 cm overall length can be useful when the field requires more reach than a compact pattern provides. It gives the operator room to position the blade while keeping the handle within practical hand control. Because the product page does not state the blade width, curvature measurement, material, or finish, those specifications should not be inferred from the instrument name alone.
* Deaver blade pattern: Provides the broad, curved contact form commonly used for tissue displacement and surgical exposure.
* 21.5 cm length: Adds reach while remaining shorter than many longer Deaver configurations.
* Approximate 8 inch size: Gives procurement and operating-room staff a straightforward size reference for tray selection.
* Pattern-specific utility: Complements other Deaver sizes when a procedure requires different working lengths.
The appropriate instrument should be chosen according to the anatomy, exposure required, and established surgical technique. Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization should be performed under validated facility procedures and applicable manufacturer guidance. This 21.5 cm Deaver model is a practical size option for departments maintaining a varied selection of exposure instruments. Add it to your surgical inventory where this configuration is required.
