Surgical retractor and sponge carrying assembly

摘要

A surgical retractor and sponge carrying assembly particularly adapted for craniotomies includes a flexible retractor member which is wrapped around the wound flap to hold the wound flap retracted and also to function as a hemostatic device. An intermediate conformable member such as a bean bag is mounted on the retractor member for providing a horizontal support surface to which a sponge carrying tray may be secured.
