ABSTRACT:
A gooseneck positioner secures a fixed support to one of a surgical spreader retractor and a connection head on a retractor blade. The positioner prevents the two retractor blades from riding out of an incision during a surgical operation. The gooseneck mechanism allows for the relative easy placement and then securing of the positioner at a desired location.
