A polymer gel orthopedic retractor for insertion into an interdigital space comprising two complementary parts in a polymer gel each comprising a flat face designed to be placed next to the corresponding face to form together the retractor, with the plates forming a junction resistant to shear forces while remaining separable, is new. Independent claims are also included for (1) an orthopedic object for insertion into an interdigital space to form a retractor or separator consisting of one part of the claimed retractor with flat face and a concave face to assist maintenance of the object in the interdigital space; (2) fabrication of the retractor or object by insertion of uncrosslinked polymer gel into open molds and crosslinking, the open face of the mold forming the flat face of the object. The molds may then be cut out and form part of the packaging of the retractor or object. |
