ABSTRACT:
A retractor apparatus includes an improved clamping device on the sterile side of a surgical drape with the drape covering an operating table having side rails. The device includes a first member having a first clamping portion and a second member having a second clamping portion. The second member is pivotally attached to the first member. The first and second portions engage the sterile side of the surgical drape and when the second member is pivoted into a clamping position with the first member, the first and second portions clamp the surgical drape and side rail. A tightening mechanism retains the first and second clamping portions in the clamping position. The first and second members have first and second passages, respectively, that are substantially aligned with each other in both the clamping position and a nonclamping position. A support member of the surgical retractor apparatus extends through the first and second passages and is secured therein in a fixed position by a suitable mechanism.
