ABSTRACT:
A retractor for operating on hernias comprising a frame member and several gripping, hook and elongated gripping instruments that are removably mounted to the frame. Each instrument includes a mounting assembly that permits the rigid locking of the elongated portion of the instrument in place with respect to the mounting assembly so that the tissue or body part being pulled is maintained out of the area being operated on. The mounting assemblies are removably and pivotally mounted to one of several openings positions around the periphery of the frame assembly so that the instruments can be directed in any suitable angle.
