1. A retractor system comprising:
a retractor frame comprising a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm coupled to the first arm and second arm; a first blade coupled to a distal end of the first arm; a second blade coupled to a distal end of the second arm; a third blade coupled to a distal end of the third arm, the third blade comprising an interior blade surface, an exterior blade surface, and blade sides connecting the interior blade surface and the exterior blade surface; a first planetary gear mechanism coupled to the first arm for rotating the first arm; a second planetary gear mechanism coupled to the second arm for rotating the second arm; and a shim device comprising an interior shim surface, an exterior shim surface, and shim sides connecting the interior shim surface and the exterior shim surface, wherein the shim sides each extend outwardly from the exterior shim surface, wherein the shim device is configured to releasably couple to the retractor blade with the exterior shim surface facing the interior blade surface, wherein the shim device at least partially wraps around the retractor blade from the interior blade surface to the exterior blade surface when the shim device is releasably coupled to the retractor blade, and wherein the first arm is configured to rotate to move the first blade in an arc for tissue retraction, wherein the second arm is configured to rotate to move the second blade in an arc for tissue retraction, and wherein the third arm is configured to linearly translate to move the third blade in a line for tissue retraction. |
