Abstract
A retractor introducer system is provided that includes a circumferential retractor and a retractor introducer. The circumferential retractor retracts and protects a patient's body opening and the retractor introducer facilitates insertion and positioning of the circumferential retractor within the patient's body.
Claims20
A retractor introducer arranged to releasably support an inner ring of a retractor, the retractor introducer comprising:
- a retractor blade having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end of the retractor blade to the distal end of the retractor blade;
- an actuator slidably attached to the retractor blade and translatable along the retractor blade from the proximal end of the retractor blade towards the distal end of the retractor blade and retractable back from the distal end of the retractor blade towards the proximal end of the retractor blade, the actuator comprising a proximal flange at a proximal end of the actuator, the proximal flange extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the retractor blade;
- and
- a handle connected to the retractor blade and extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the retractor blade.

- a retractor blade having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end of the retractor blade to the distal end of the retractor blade, the retractor blade comprising a dovetail;
- an actuator slidably attached to the retractor blade and translatable along the retractor blade from the proximal end of the retractor blade towards the distal end of the retractor blade and retractable back from the distal end of the retractor blade towards the proximal end of the retractor blade, the actuator comprising a channel extending lengthwise along the actuator, the channel of the actuator being arranged to receive the dovetail of the retractor blade, the channel of the actuator arranged to translate along the dovetail of the retractor blade as the actuator is moved;
- and
- a handle connected to the retractor blade and extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the retractor blade.
