21 cm, 8½”
Next Edge Surgical LLC lists the 08-282-21 as a Schoenbore Retractor with an overall length of 21 cm, or 8½ inches. This longer format gives the instrument a distinct place in a surgical set where direct manual tissue retraction and access are required.
The Schoenbore pattern is intended to help the surgical professional hold appropriate tissue away from the operative field. In practical use, the instrument can be positioned at the selected site and adjusted manually to maintain the exposure needed for the procedure. This makes it particularly relevant to teams that prefer having several retraction patterns available rather than relying on one general-purpose instrument.
The 21 cm length is worth noting for procurement and tray organization. It offers a longer working reach than a smaller hand retractor while remaining a manually controlled instrument. For surgeons and operating-room staff, choosing the appropriate length can make a difference when working around an incision or accessing tissue at a greater distance from the hand.

* Overall length: 21 cm, or 8½ inches.
