Product Description

The Deaver Retractor is an essential surgical retractor recognized worldwide for providing broad, atraumatic soft-tissue and visceral displacement during major abdominal, thoracic, and pelvic operations. Designed with a long, flat blade that arches into a deep curve, this instrument allows surgical assistants to retract the abdominal wall, liver, spleen, and intestines smoothly away from the operative corridor.

Built for complete procedural adaptability across variable anatomical depths, the Deaver Retractor series is manufactured in 15 distinct size combinations: 18 cm × 10 mm ($59), 18 cm × 19 mm ($61), 20 cm × 13 mm ($63), 20 cm × 16 mm ($65), 20 cm × 26 mm ($67), 21 cm × 23 mm ($69), 23 cm × 26 mm ($71), 26 cm × 26 mm ($73), 30 cm × 26 mm ($75), 30 cm × 38 mm ($77), 30 cm × 50 mm ($79), 30 cm × 76 mm ($81), 30 cm × 101 mm ($83), 33 cm × 26 mm ($85), and 36 cm × 26 mm ($87). The smooth, polished blade edges prevent mucosal and serosal tearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Deaver Retractor?

The Deaver Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Long, flat blade forming a deep anatomical hook with rounded, atraumatic margins, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle designed for sustained manual counter-traction, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Deaver Retractor used for?

The Deaver Retractor is used in open surgery to retract the abdominal wall, liver, intestines, stomach, and bladder, holding viscera aside to give surgeons an unhindered view of deep cavities.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for exploratory laparotomy, cholecystectomy, colectomy, gastrectomy, cesarean section, total abdominal hysterectomy, and open nephrectomy.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating lights.

Is the Deaver Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Deaver Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each size combination is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multi-size sets to stock standard laparotomy trays.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade curvatures, altered widths, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.

What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?

In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
