SURGICAL RETRACTION FRAME, SURGICAL RETRACTION SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

A frame for supporting one or more surgical tools during a surgical procedure. The frame is connectable to a surgical table and has at least one transverse support assembly and at least one longitudinal support assembly. Each longitudinal support assembly extends between and is coupled to the first transverse support assembly and either a second transverse support assembly or a support post that is spaced from the first transverse support assembly relative to a longitudinal axis of the table. Each longitudinal support assembly has a shaft and at least one connector that is coupled to the shaft and configured to engage and support a surgical tool. The frame is connectable to the surgical table such that the first and second transverse support assemblies and the at least one longitudinal support assembly are spaced from the surgical table in an upward direction.
