Desmarres Eyelid Retractor 13cm - 5"

Desmarres Eyelid Retractor, 13 cm - 5"

The eyelid's curvature isn't something a straight instrument handles gracefully. The Desmarres Eyelid Retractor curves to match the eyelid, retracting and everting the eyelid margin during blepharoplasty with a blade shape that supports both surgical access and diagnostic examination without fighting the anatomy.

A Blade Shaped for the Job

Curving to match the eyelid's natural shape lets surgeons evert the lid margin smoothly and hold that position throughout the procedure, without exerting the uneven pressure that a mismatched instrument shape could cause.

13 cm for Confined Periorbital Work

Sized appropriately for the fine work required in periorbital surgery, this retractor gives surgeons comfortable control within the confined field presented by the eyelid and surrounding structures.

Upper and Lower Lid, Same Instrument

This retractor supports both upper and lower blepharoplasty, exposing the field for excess skin trimming, fat pad management, and other eyelid reshaping surgeries across both regions.

Useful Beyond the Operating Room

Diagnostic eyelid eversion is another common use, letting clinicians examine the palpebral conjunctiva and lid margin for pathology before or during surgical planning—added value beyond its surgical retraction role.
