ABSTRACT:
A suture deflector for retracting a body tissue by deflecting a surgical suture that is simultaneously attached to a body tissue and a surgical retractor. The suture deflector imparts a deflecting force on the surgical suture to retract a body tissue between a first and second retracted position. The suture deflector consists of a securing mechanism for attaching the suture deflector to a surgical retractor and a deflection member extending from the securing mechanism. The deflection member includes a suture contacting section that is configured so as to prevent the severing of the surgical suture when it is deflected by the suture deflector. In certain embodiments, the deflection member includes a connecting section that extends between the securing mechanism and the suture contacting section and that is also movable relative to the securing mechanism in order to impart a deflecting force on the surgical suture.
