A vascular harvest retractor device (10) includes an elongate member (12) having an arcuate cross section defining an elongate passage therein, and a handle (30) integrally molded to its proximal end (14). A transparent illumination member (50) has a proximal portion (52) connectable to a light source, and a distal portion within the elongate passage. The distal portion of the illumination member extends along an inner surface of the elongate member which includes a plurality of grooves for diffusing light transmitted from the proximal portion into the distal portion uniformly into, and along the elongate passage. The illumination member may be attached to the elongate member, and/or handle. The handle may include a cavity through which the l- illumination member extends, and to which a handle cover may be attached. The device may also include a support member attachable to the proximal end of the elongate member to further facilitate visualization of, and/or access into the elongate passage.

L'invention concerne un dispositif écarteur de prélèvement vasculaire (10) pourvu d'un élément allongé (12) qui présente une section transversale arrondie définissant un passage allongé, et d'une poignée (30) intégrée à son extrémité proximale (14). Un élément éclairant transparent (50) présente une partie proximale (52) pouvant être reliée à une source lumineuse, et une partie distale ménagée à l'intérieur dudit passage allongé. La partie distale de cet élément éclairant s'étend le long de la surface intérieure dudit élément allongé, laquelle présente plusieurs renfoncements permettant de diffuser uniformément, à l'intérieur et le long du passage allongé, la lumière émise de la partie proximale à la partie distale. L'élément éclairant peut par ailleurs être fixé audit élément allongé et/ou à la poignée, laquelle peut présenter une cavité à travers laquelle cet élément éclairant s'étend, et à laquelle le dessus d'une poignée peut être raccordé. Le dispositif de cette invention comprend enfin un élément support pouvant être fixé à l'extrémité proximale de l'élément allongé afin de faciliter la visualisation dudit passage allongé, et/ou l'accès à ce dernier.
