Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Deaver Retractor is a versatile surgical instrument designed for deep tissue and organ retraction in a wide range of procedures, including abdominal, thoracic, gynecological, and orthopedic surgeries. Featuring a smooth, curved design with no grip, this retractor allows for atraumatic tissue displacement, providing unobstructed access to deep surgical fields while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.
- Curved, Smooth Blade for Deep Retraction: Ideal for lifting and holding back soft tissues and organs without causing excessive pressure or trauma.

- Available in Round and Flat Variants: Designed to meet different procedural needs and surgeon preferences.
- Offered in Various Sizes: Available in multiple lengths and widths to accommodate different surgical applications.
- Ideal for Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery: Used to securely retract soft tissue, intestines, and organs during major surgical procedures.
Applications:
- General and Abdominal Surgery: Provides optimal exposure in deep surgical fields, commonly used in laparotomy, bowel resections, and liver surgeries.
- Thoracic Surgery: Assists in lung and cardiac procedures, maintaining clear visualization of vital structures.
- Gynecological and Obstetric Surgery: Used in C-sections, hysterectomies, and pelvic procedures to retract abdominal walls and organs.
- Orthopedic and Spinal Surgery: Helps in retracting deep muscle layers, facilitating access to spinal and major joint surgeries.
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Ensures effective soft tissue manipulation in cases such as breast reconstruction and abdominoplasty.
The Deaver Retractor is named after Dr. John Blair Deaver, a renowned American surgeon who developed this instrument to improve access in deep surgical cavities. Due to its atraumatic properties and adaptable design, it has become a standard tool in abdominal and thoracic surgery.
