36 cm, 13 1/2
The 08-588-36 Deaver retractor provides the longest listed size in this group, measuring 36 cm, or 13 1/2 inches. It retains the familiar Deaver pattern, a broad, curved blade design used to displace tissue and help maintain access to the operative field. The extended overall length gives surgical teams a dedicated option when a longer reach is needed for positioning the blade while keeping the operator’s hand farther from the immediate working area. This model is listed among the retractors.
The 36 cm dimension is the key distinguishing specification for this instrument. Compared with shorter Deaver patterns, it offers additional working reach that may be useful for procedures where the required exposure cannot be comfortably achieved with a compact instrument. Actual selection should remain dependent on the operative anatomy, exposure requirements, and surgeon preference. The product page does not state blade width, exact curvature, material, finish, or a specific sterilization method, so those details should not be assumed.
* 36 cm overall length: Provides substantial reach for appropriate tissue exposure and positioning.
* Broad curved Deaver pattern: Supplies a defined blade surface for moving tissue away from the operative area.
* 13 1/2 inch specification: Makes this model readily distinguishable during ordering and instrument-set preparation.
* Longest-size option: Extends the range available to teams that require multiple Deaver lengths.
Use the instrument according to established surgical technique and facility procedures. Reprocessing should follow validated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocols together with applicable manufacturer guidance. For departments needing a long Deaver configuration, this model offers a clearly identified 36 cm size. Add it to your surgical instrument inventory where its extended reach is appropriate.
