DEAVER RETRACTOR WIDTH 25MM 36,0CM

DEAVER RETRACTOR • WIDTH 25MM • 36.0CM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Boundary-Length Deep Retractor for Definitive Exposure in Seemingly Hopeless Access Situations

The DEAVER RETRACTOR with the boundary-pushing standard dimensions of 25 mm width and 36.0 cm length is a CE Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This version marks the outermost limit of feasibility in manual deep tissue retraction. It is designed for the definitive and stable exposure of structures that must be reached under the most extreme conditions – such as in extensive spinal corrections, the most complex thoraco-abdominal revision procedures, or in surgery for morbid obesity – where even 33 cm of length is insufficient.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR)
✔ Boundary width (25 mm) for necessary stability on maximum lever
✔ Boundary length (36 cm) for the final possible manual reach in depth
✔ Highly stable, massively curved tip for definitive hold under extreme conditions
✔ Construction for highest bending stability across the entire unusual length
✔ Fully rounded, high-gloss polished edges for maximum atraumatic quality
✔ High-quality surgical stainless steel in a special, high-strength long-rod grade
✔ Extremely long, solid, and ergonomically conceived handle for maximum control
✔ Autoclavable and designed for the rarest and most demanding procedures

Benefits of the Deaver Retractor (25 mm, 36 cm):

• Last Resort Before Instrumental Alternatives: Offers the ultimate manual reach before resorting to special long-stemmed instruments or alternative access techniques.
• For Specific Maximum Indications: Developed for defined, highly specialized procedures in spinal, bariatric, and revision surgery, where patient anatomy or the extent of the procedure exceeds every standard dimension.
• Critical Precision at Distance: Allows the specialized surgeon to perform controlled and measured retraction even at depths over 30 cm, which is crucial for protecting neural structures.
• Stability as the Paramount Requirement: The design prioritizes the prevention of bending to ensure direct force transmission and secure hold even at this length.
• An Instrument for Expert Centers: A niche instrument used exclusively in highly specialized maximum care centers.

Critical Safety and Handling Instructions:

• FOR USE BY HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AND YEARS-EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL IN DESIGNATED CENTERS ONLY.
• Use under strictest aseptic conditions only.
• A critical visual and functional inspection is mandatory BEFORE EACH USE. The instrument must not be used at the slightest sign of material fatigue or deformation.
• Application requires specific training and practice in handling ultra-long instruments.
• The enormous lever length creates extremely high torque. Any uncontrolled movement or excessive force can lead to catastrophic and irreversible tissue damage.
• The indication for using this instrument must be strictly defined.
