The Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle series features a curved visceral blade paired with a lightweight ergonomic hollow handle to maximize maneuverability and minimize user fatigue. Available across nine overall lengths from 7″ to 14″ (with reach up to 14 ½″), it delivers exceptional balance during deep abdominal and pelvic surgery.
The Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle series represents an advanced ergonomic refinement of the classic visceral retractor, engineered specifically to provide superior manual maneuverability while drastically reducing user hand and forearm strain during prolonged surgical exposures. Designed with a lightweight hollow handle grip, this instrument redistributes mass toward the surgeon's palm, eliminating the front-heavy imbalance common in solid deep retractors.
Built for complete procedural adaptability, this Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle series offers nine selectable overall lengths: 7″ ($64), 8″ ($66), 8 ½″ ($68), 9″ ($70), 10″ ($72), 10 ½″ ($74), 12″ ($76), 13″ ($78), and 14″ ($80), with total layout capabilities extending up to a 14 ½-inch structural reach option. The deeply curved, polished blade hooks smoothly under visceral organs and abdominal walls, providing broad counter-traction while protecting fragile organ serosa from focal compression injury.
Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle instruments to withstand heavy mechanical loads and repeated hospital autoclaving cycles, providing operating rooms worldwide with exceptional clinical durability, superior balance, and unmatched tactile control.

The Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Deeply curved anatomical hook blade with rounded atraumatic margins, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is hollow, ergonomically contoured grip handle engineered for weight reduction and secure control, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 7″ ($64), 8″ ($66), 8.5″ ($68), 9″ ($70), 10″ ($72), 10.5″ ($74), 12″ ($76), 13″ ($78), 14″ ($80) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
The Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle are used in open abdominal and pelvic surgery to retract large visceral organs and muscle walls, utilizing a hollow handle design that significantly reduces assistant wrist and hand fatigue.
They are indicated for exploratory laparotomy, colectomy, liver resection, gastrectomy, cesarean section, total abdominal hysterectomy, and deep pelvic oncologic dissections.
The instruments are forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Yes. All Deaver Retractors Hollow Grip Handle instruments are 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The hollow interior is fully sealed to prevent fluid ingress during reprocessing.
