| 20100234690 | RIB RETRACTOR - A rib retractor comprises a pair of L-shaped members able to be pivoted between an inserting and a working shape. Each lever comprises a detachable handle at a proximal side and a stretching jaw at a distal side. The members are linked at their respective corners by pivoting joining means. Each stretching jaw comprises a distal blade part and a curved section, acting as a cam to stretch apart the ribs when the retractor is brought from inserting to working shape and which define the operating field. | 09-16-2010 |
