1.3.4. Retractor, blades and wrench

The retractor, blades and wrench are reusable devices.

- Choose the blades size using the graduation on the dilators (blades length depending
on the thickness of the patient, on the selected access for the surgery or on the

surgeon's needs).

- Fix the 3 selected blades on the retractor body: they slide vertically either from the top

or from beneath, until a click can be heard:

 Place a right blade (R marked) on the right arm (R marked) (see figure 4)

 Place a left blade (L marked) on the left arm (L marked)
 Place a central blade (C marked) on the middle arm

- Before inserting the retractor in the wound, check that the retractor is well closed:
blades shall make a closed circle (see figure 4). If necessary, use the right and left

screws to reduce the angle of the blades (refer to figure 6 for more details). Then slide
down the retractor body with its blades in the wound around the largest dilator (see
figure 5).
