ABSTRACT:
An abdominal retractor comprising a deformable annular-shaped member with an opening therethrough, which is structured and dimensioned for retracting a linear incision in the abdomen and forming the surrounding tissue into a generally circular configuration, thereby providing an access opening into the abdominal cavity large enough for a hand. The annular member is also adapted to contact the retracted abdominal tissues so as to provide a sealing engagement therebetween. A collapsible sleeve is joined to the annular member and is disposed for extension exterior to the abdomen. The sleeve is structured to enable an arm member to be sealingly yet movably enclosed therein such that a hand at the end of the arm member can be introduced through the access opening into the abdominal cavity. The retractor further includes means through which the abdominal cavity can be inflated with gas such as carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2).
