Selectively locking minimally traumatic access port

摘要

A selectively locking minimally traumatic access port which utilizes a retractor which is configured to create access to a surgical site by displacing surrounding tissues. To minimize the damaged to the displaced tissue, the retractor is further configured to be locked in at least three fixed positions. The medical professional extends and locks the retractor in a position that minimizes the displacement and damage to the surrounding tissues while allowing adequate access to the surgical site.
