TELESCOPING SURGICAL SUPPORT AND RETRACTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A surgical support system including a primary telescoping support; and a secondary telescoping support that is telescopically mounted to the primary support, the secondary support being configured for telescopically mounting a surgical tool thereto, such that such that telescoping of the secondary support with respect to the primary support repositions the secondary telescoping support. The secondary support is mounted to the primary support telescopably along a first telescoping axis; and the secondary telescoping support is configured for mounting the surgical tool telescopably along a second telescoping axis that is oriented at a non-parallel angle to the first telescoping axis. The secondary support includes a first mounting portion; a second mounting portion configured for telescopically mounting the surgical tool; and an articulable joint disposed between and associating the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion for adjusting the angle between the first and second telescoping axes. The articulable joint is releasably lockable for locking the angle. The secondary support comprises a flared end for facilitating reception of the surgical tool into the telescopic mounting with the secondary support.
