ABSTRACT:
A retractor apparatus includes an extension rod, first and second support rods and first and second clamps. The extension rod is attached to the first support rod with the first clamp. The first support rod is attached to the second support rod with the second clamp. The first and second support rods extend outwardly over the surgical table on opposite sides of the incision and the second support rod may be moved relative to the first support rod so as to correctly position the retractors over the incision.
