MINIMALLY INVASIVE SUCTION RETRACTOR

摘要

A suction retractor including an elongated tube that is operable to be inserted through a tubular retractor used in minimally invasive surgical procedures. One end of the tube is coupled to a handle having a chamber and the other end of the tube is coupled to a curved retractor portion, where the retractor portion allows the surgeon to hold back various anatomies during the surgical procedure. Thus, the suction retractor provides two functions that may otherwise require two different instruments. A suction device can be coupled to an outlet port in the handle that causes the blood and other surgical material to be sucked through the tube and out of the handle.
