ABSTRACT:
A rotatable retractor clamp having a detachable blade clamp. A retractor blade is rotatably secured to a blade clamp by a boss fitting a socket in a clamp body that includes a blade release lever that locks the blade onto the clamp body. After attachment to the clamp, the blade may freely rotate on the blade clamp allowing adjustment after placement of a retractor in an incision. The blade is rotatably held in a socket in the clamp body when installed on a retractor arm but may be easily detached for replacement by a different length blade.
