Disclosed is a self-retaining surgical retractor (10) suitable for use in small surgical incisions or punctures, able to expand the incision or puncture to one or more enlarged cross-sectional areas and designed to protect the edges of the incision or puncture. The surgical retractor (10) comprises a radially expandable tubular body (20) having a control (60) at the proximal end (30). Pull wires (100) couple the control (60) to the tubular body (20) such that force applied to the control (60) is transmitted to the tubular body (20) as axially compressive force.

L'invention concerne un écarteur chirurgical autostatique (10) conçu pour être utilisé lorsqu'on effectue de petites incisions ou pénétrations chirurgicales et capable d'agrandir l'incision ou la pénétration sur au moins une section transversale, et de protéger les bords de l'incision ou de la pénétration. L'écarteur chirurgical (10) comprend un corps tubulaire extensible radialement (20) pourvu d'un élément de réglage (60) à son extrémité proximale (30). Des fils de traction (100) raccordent l'élément de réglage (60) au corps tubulaire (20) de sorte que la force appliquée sur l'élément de réglage (60) soit transmise au corps tubulaire (20) sous forme d'une force compressive axialement.
