DEAVER RETRACTOR WIDTH 25MM 33,0CM

DEAVER RETRACTOR • WIDTH 25MM • 33.0CM • CE CLASS I • ISO 13485:2016

Ultimate-Length Deep Retractor for Exposure in the Most Extreme Depths and Largest Approaches

The DEAVER RETRACTOR with the ultimate maximum standard dimensions of 25 mm width and 33.0 cm length is a CE Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This version represents the definitive limit of manual reach in deep tissue retraction and is designed for exposing structures that are barely reachable even with the longest standard instruments – such as in extensive spinal procedures, complex thoraco-abdominal reconstructions, or surgery for morbid obesity.

Product Highlights:

✔ Certified according to ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE marking Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR)
✔ Maximum standard width (25 mm) for the most stable hold over long distance
✔ Ultimate standard length (33 cm) for reach into the most extreme depths
✔ Characteristically strongly curved, massive tip for definitive hold on the deepest target structures
✔ Enables the final retraction possibility in seemingly hopeless access conditions
✔ Fully rounded, high-gloss polished edges for maximum atraumatic quality along the entire length
✔ High-quality surgical stainless steel in a special, length- and bend-stable grade
✔ Extremely long, solid, and ergonomically shaped handle for control at maximum leverage
✔ Autoclavable and designed for the most demanding procedures in maximum care settings

Benefits of the Deaver Retractor (25 mm, 33 cm):

• Ultimate Manual Reach: The 33 cm length opens up retraction possibilities in anatomical depths that would otherwise only be achievable with special long-stemmed instruments or additional auxiliary access.
• Definitive Instrument for Maximum Cases: The standard instrument of choice for the greatest challenges: extensive ventral spinal surgeries (e.g., corpectomies), revision surgeries in the deep mediastinum, or in patients with an extreme body mass index.
• Critical Stability on an Ultra-Long Lever: Specially optimized for this length to prevent bending, ensuring precise, controlled force transmission to the tip.
• Ultimate Precision Under Adverse Conditions: Allows the experienced surgeon to work with the necessary delicacy even at extreme depth to spare neural or vascular structures.
• Simplification of Complex Approaches: In specific situations, can render the use of multiple shorter retractors or even an access extension unnecessary.

Technical Specifications:

• Model: Deaver Retractor, Ultimate-Length Maximum Version
• Overall Length: 33.0 cm
• Blade Width: 25 mm
• Blade Shape: Ultimately long, with extreme, characteristic curvature (>90°) at the tip
• Handle Form: Extremely long, solid handle with optimized ergonomics
• Material: High-quality surgical stainless steel (e.g., 1.4301 / 316L in special long-rod quality)
• Surface: High-gloss polished (mirror finish) for minimal resistance
• Special Feature: Longest version available in the standard program for absolute depth reach
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 MDR

Areas of Application:

• Extensive ventral spinal procedures with access across multiple segments
• Maximum thoraco-abdominal tumor resections and vascular reconstructions
• Revision surgery in the deep pelvis and retroperitoneum after multiple previous operations
• Surgery in patients with morbid obesity (BMI > 50)

Important Safety and Handling Instructions:

• FOR USE BY HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AND LONG-TERM EXPERIENCED SURGICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
• Use under strictest aseptic conditions only.
• A critical visual and functional inspection for minimal deformations or material fatigue must be performed BEFORE EACH USE.
• The ultimate length creates extreme torque. A non-measured or uncontrolled application of force can lead to irreparable tissue or organ damage. An absolutely tactile and conscious approach is mandatory.
• Placement requires particular knowledge of deep anatomy, as the tip can reach structures outside the direct field of view.
• Reprocessing and sterilization must meet the requirements for extremely long instruments.
