Description

The Desmarres Saddle Retractor is a precision surgical instrument designed for the atraumatic retraction of soft tissues during plastic, reconstructive, ophthalmic, ENT, and facial surgical procedures. Its distinctive saddle-shaped blade allows surgeons to gently elevate and retract tissue while maintaining excellent exposure of the operative field. The instrument is widely used in procedures where delicate tissue handling and controlled retraction are essential.

The retractor is available in three blade widths, 12 mm, 14 mm, and 16 mm, allowing surgeons to select the most appropriate size for the anatomy and procedure being performed. The broad saddle-shaped blade distributes retraction forces over a larger surface area, helping to minimize localized tissue trauma while maintaining stable exposure. This design is particularly beneficial when retracting delicate skin, eyelid, or facial tissues.

With an overall length of 16 cm (6¼”), the Desmarres Saddle Retractor provides an excellent balance of reach, visibility, and maneuverability. The ribbed handle section enhances grip security and tactile feedback, enabling precise placement and controlled retraction throughout the procedure. Its slim profile minimizes obstruction within the surgical field while supporting accurate tissue management.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Desmarres Saddle Retractor undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its atraumatic saddle blade design, multiple width options, and ergonomic handling characteristics make it a valuable instrument for plastic, reconstructive, and ophthalmic surgery.
