An illuminated surgical retractor for illuminating a subcutaneous surgical field in the space between a vessel, such as the saphenous vein, and the subcutaneous tissue when the illuminated retractor is used to retract the subcutaneous tissue away from the superior surface of the vessel, the illuminated surgical retractor having a handle member pivotally connected at an acute angle to a first elongate section and a second elongate section that is releasably connected to the first elongate section and a portion of the second elongate section defining an illumination input end portion which is optically coupled to a light source so that the second elongate section is substantially illuminated, and, a shroud member is positioned on the proximal end portion of the first elongate section to aid in the dissection of the intervening tissue.

L'invention concerne un rétracteur chirurgical éclairé qui permet d'éclairer le champ opératoire dans l'espace compris entre un vaisseau du type veine saphène et le tissu sous-cutané lorsque ledit rétracteur est utilisé pour rétracter ce tissu sous-cutané à partir de la surface supérieure du vaisseau. Le rétracteur a une poignée reliée pivotante selon un angle aigu par rapport à une première partie allongée et une seconde partie allongée reliée libérable à la première partie. Une zone de la seconde partie allongée définit une extrémité d'entrée d'éclairage reliée optiquement à une source lumineuse, de manière à éclairer sensiblement la seconde partie allongée. Un voile est placé sur l'extrémité proximale de la première partie allongée, afin de contribuer à la dissection du tissu dans l'intervention.
