Abstract
Cardiac surgery retractor which comprises a baseband formed by a first base and a second base, mutually arranged in a perpendicular manner and forming a cross-section of the baseband in the shape of an L, the second base being planar and the first base having a curved geometry; the baseband incorporating a fin formed by a profile with a cross-section also in the shape of an L and the fin being articulated at the second base of the baseband, at a lateral edge of the second base contiguous to the contact thereof with the first base of the same baseband; such that in one position of the joint of the fin, one of the sides of the L profile forming the fin is the continuation of the same second base and the other side of the same L profile of the fin is the continuation of the first base.

A cardiac surgery retractor configured for use in a minimally invasive surgery and for the use thereof with a diaphragm, characterized by the fact that the retractor comprises a baseband (1) formed by a first base (11) and a second base (12), the first base (11) and the second base (12) mutually arranged in a perpendicular manner and forming a cross-section of the baseband (1) in the shape of an L, the second base (12) being planar and the first base (11) having a curved geometry with a convex surface in relation to the contact thereof with the second base (12) and the baseband (1) therefore having an intersection line (13) between the first base (11) and the second base (12) with a geometric shape of a circumferential arc;
- the baseband (1) incorporating a fin (2) having a profile (21) with a cross-section also in the shape of an L and the fin (2) being articulated at the second base (12) of the baseband (1) and more specifically articulated at a lateral edge (121) of the second base (12) contiguous to the contact thereof with the first base (11);
- such that in one position of a joint of the fin (2), one side (22) of the L profile (21) forming the fin (2) is the continuation of the same second planar base (12) of the baseband (1) and the other side (23) of the same L profile (21) of the fin (2) is the continuation of the curved geometry of the first base (11) of the baseband (1) and a line of a vertex (24) of the L profile (21) is the continuation of the geometric shape of the intersection line (13) between the first base (11) and the second base (12) of the baseband (1);
- and in another position of the joint of the fin (2), the side (22) of the L profile (21) of the fin (2) is positioned on the second base (12) of the baseband (1);
- the surface of the convex face of the first base (11) and the side (23) of the L profile (21) of the fin (2) both being rough;
- and an end of the first base (11) opposite the intersection line (13) with the second base (12) incorporates two arms (3, 4) articulated with respect to the first base (11) itself which, in one position of said joint of the arms (3, 4), are positioned on the face of the first base (11) which corresponds to a concave part of the first base (11) and in another position of the same joint are arranged extended and with an orientation perpendicular to the same first base (11) in a direction opposite the position of the second base (12);
- a edge (122) of the second base (12), which is in a position opposite the intersection line (13) with the first base (11), incorporating a tubular extension (5) towards the exterior of the second base (12).
