Desmarres Lid Retractor | 10mm 12mm 14mm | Insulated Shaft Option

The Desmarres lid retractor holds the eyelid gently away from the eye. Its smooth, curved blade follows the lid, so it exposes the field without pressure points.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Clean the instrument soon after each use. First, soak it in a pH-neutral enzymatic cleaner. Then brush the prongs or blade gently with a soft nylon brush. After that, rinse and dry it fully. Finally, autoclave it with your standard hospital steam cycle. Also, check the insulation before each case, if you use the insulated version.
