ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes an auxiliary surgical retractor blade system in which a plurality of blade members are connectable in series by connector elements. The connector elements engage receivers on adjacent blade members and the receivers themselves are formed with flat abutting wall surfaces to prevent relative movement of the adjacent blade sections. Retention means may be provided in conjunction with the connector elements and receivers to prevent inadvertent disconnection of adjacent blade sections. The auxiliary retractor blade system of the present invention is useable with existing surgical retraction instruments to extend their reach along the length of a surgical incision.
