The disclosure pertains to a surgical implement that has a gripping end and a surgical end. The surgical end includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side and a pointed distal end wherein the first side and the distal end are blunt and the second side has a surgically sham cutting edge. This surgical implement can be utilized during surgical procedures to maintain an incision in an open position or enlarge or modify an incision to accommodate an endoscope and other surgical implements. The use of this surgical implement to cut, expand and maintain an open incision saves time and minimizes trauma to the tissue. |
