Wound retractor

摘要

A wound retractor comprises a split tube made up of two halves, holders of the tube halves, a mechanism for spreading the tube halves apart, incorporating a retainer for locking the tube halves in position. The holder of one tube half is shaped as a plate having an oblong opening at the edge of which the tube half is located. The holder of the other tube half is shaped as a strip mounted slidably over the plate and having an opening similar to that in the plate. The second tube half is fitted at the edge of the strip opening opposite to the first tube half.
