A wound retractor device ( 1 ) comprises a distal ring member ( 2 ) for insertion into a wound opening ( 3 ), a proximal ring member ( 4 ) for location externally of the wound opening ( 3 ), and a cylindrical connecting sleeve ( 5 ), which extends between the distal ring member ( 2 ) and the proximal ring member ( 4 ), to retract laterally the sides of the wound opening ( 3 ). The device ( 1 ) further comprises a rigid ring-shaped platform member ( 6 ) to support one or more medical devices in a desired location and/or orientation. The platform member ( 6 ) is suitable for location, in use, externally of the wound opening ( 3 ). The device ( 1 ) also comprises a medical device ( 16 ) supported on the platform member ( 6 ). The medical device ( 16 ) comprises a body portion ( 9 ), a gripping member ( 11 ), and a rigid arm member ( 10 ) to connect the gripping member ( 11 ) to the body portion ( 9 ). A medical instrument ( 14 ) may be then positioned in a "C"-shaped opening ( 21 ) of the gripping member ( 11 ). The location and/or orientation of the medical instrument ( 14 ) may be adjusted by adjusting the arm member ( 10 ) and/or the gripping member ( 11 ). |
