SURGICAL RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

A surgical retractor comprises a support comprising a first mating part comprising a shaft, which defines a longitudinal axis, extending therefrom. At least one tissue engaging member extends between a first end defining a first axis and a second end defining a second axis and having a tissue engaging surface disposed along the second axis. The first end comprises a second mating part comprising a wall that defines an elongated cavity disposed along the first axis and being configured to receive the shaft such that the first axis and the longitudinal axis are co-axial. The wall is engageable with the shaft to align the second mating part with the first mating part such that the second axis intersects the longitudinal axis. Methods of use are disclosed.
