08-191-18

When operative access extends beyond a shallow working area, an appropriately sized instrument can provide the additional reach needed for manual tissue positioning. The 08-191-18 features an 18 cm profile, giving surgical personnel greater working distance while maintaining direct control of the instrument.
Including long-pattern retractors in specialized instrument sets provides operating-room staff with an option for procedures where a longer handheld profile is useful.
The instrument offers several practical characteristics:
* 18 cm length: Provides extended reach compared with shorter handheld models.
* Working blade: Creates a defined contact surface for positioning appropriate tissue during operative exposure.
* Handheld configuration: Allows the assistant to control the direction and degree of retraction throughout the procedure.
* Stainless steel construction: Provides a durable metallic body suitable for repeated clinical handling when processed according to facility procedures.
* Longer profile: Can help keep the assistant’s hand farther from a confined operative area when appropriate.
The 08-191-18 is suited to instrument inventories that require greater reach without moving to a substantially larger retraction system. Its length and manual configuration make it a useful option for deeper or more restricted surgical working areas where controlled exposure is necessary.
Add this 18 cm instrument to a professional surgical tray when longer manual reach is part of your facility’s procedural requirements.
