ABSTRACT:
A surgical retractor apparatus for retracting anatomy during surgery includes a single support post connected directly to an adjustable clamp which can be attached to the rail of a surgical operating table. A butterfly assembly positioned on the clamp above the field of sterilization allows operating room personnel to fasten the clamp anywhere along the table rail without breaking the sterile field. Extension arms are connected to the support post by means of adjustable joint clamps. The threaded components of the joint clamps and adjustable clamp may be exposed for easy cleaning and lubrication but may not be completely disassembled thereby facilitating reassembly of the components. Retractor blades are adjustably connected to the extension arms by means of additional joint clamps and extend downwardly through an incision to retract anatomy to provide exposure to the operative site.
