Patent

CA 2309825

This invention is a retractor (10) comprising a rack (20) having a first section (22), a second section (24), a first blade (30) fixedly attached to the rack (20), and a second blade (40) movably attached to the rack (20). The first, and second blades engage two adjacent ribs in a patient. The first section (22), and the second section (24) of the rack (20) form a nonlinear angle therebetween so that when the first section (22) is horizontally disposed, the second section (24) is disposed at an angle relative to a horizontal plane. The present invention also uses an external lifting device disposed above the retractor, and that creates an upwardly directed force on the second blade (40). The retractor (10) increases the field of vision for a surgeon based on the design of the rack (20), and the use of the external lifting device.

Cette invention se rapporte à un écarteur (10), qui comprend une crémaillère (20) présentant une première section (22), une seconde section (24), une première lame (30) reliée fixe à la crémaillère (20), et une seconde lame (40) reliée mobile à la crémaillère (20). Les première et seconde lames viennent en contact avec deux côtes adjacentes du patient. La première section (22) et la seconde section (24) de la crémaillère (20) forment un angle non linéaire entre elles, pour que, au moment où la première section (22) est disposée horizontalement, la seconde section (24) vienne former un angle par rapport à un plan horizontal. Cette invention utilise également un dispositif de soulèvement externe disposé au-dessus de l'écarteur et créant une force dirigée vers le haut sur la seconde lame (40). Cet écarteur (10) augmente le champ de vision du chirurgien grâce à la conception de la crémaillère (20) et grâce à l'utilisation du dispositif de soulèvement extérieur.
