A dual-blade retractor comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end;
- a first blade extending from the first end of the handle;
- a second blade extending from the second end of the handle;
- and
- an illumination assembly including (a) one or more first direct light sources provided on the first blade and (b) one or more second direct light sources provided on the second blade,
- wherein the dual-blade retractor is configured to house therein an internal power source for supplying energy to the one or more first and second direct light sources.
A retractor comprising:
- a handle;
- a first blade and a second blade extending from the handle;
- a smoke evacuation assembly including a first smoke evacuation conduit configured to provide suction at the first blade, and a second smoke evacuation conduit, separate from the first smoke evacuation conduit, configured to provide suction at the second blade,
- wherein the smoke evacuation assembly is configured to selectively provide suction to the first and second smoke evacuation conduits.
A retractor comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end;
- a first blade extending from the first end of the handle;
- a second blade extending from the second end of the handle;
- a smoke evacuation assembly configured to provide suction to the first blade and the second blade,
- wherein the smoke evacuation assembly includes at least one port configured to connect to a vacuum source, and
- wherein when the smoke evacuation assembly provides suction to one of the first and second blades, the at least one port does not obstruct a field of view around the one of the first and second blades.
A retractor comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end;
- a first blade extending from the first end of the handle;
- a second blade extending from the second end of the handle;
- a smoke evacuation assembly configured to provide suction to the first blade and the second blade,
- wherein the smoke evacuation assembly includes:
- a first smoke evacuation conduit configured to provide suction at the first blade;
