Desmarres Retractor (Eyelid) 18x160mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of the eyelid and periocular soft tissue, this retractor exposes the surgical field during oculoplastic and minor ophthalmic procedures. Common applications include blepharoplasty, chalazion excision, eyelid laceration repair, margin inspection, and delivery of globe-proximal tissues for suturing and cauterization. The broad, flat blade supports tissue distribution to minimize focal pressure on delicate eyelid skin.

Design & Configuration

The flat, spatula-style blade geometry distributes retraction forces across a wider surface area to reduce tissue trauma and improve hemostasis. A slim profile and extended reach (18 x 160 mm) permit unobstructed visualization of the lid margin and operative field while allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain stable exposure. The hand-held configuration gives precise tactile control for intermittent retraction and fine adjustments during suturing and delicate dissection.
