THYROIDECTOMY RETRACTOR Filed July 15, 1949 INVENTOR FIG. '3. HOWARD MAHORNER ATTORNEY 7 Patented Aug. 14, 1951 THYR-OIDECTOMY RETRACTOR Howard Mahorner, New Orleans, La., asslgnor to A. S. Aloe Company, St. Louis, Mo.-, a corporation of Missouri Application July 15, 1949, Serial No. 104,864
6 Claims.
This invention relates in general. to surgical instruments and more particularly to certain new and useful improvements in thyroidectomy retractors.
- It is the primary object of the presentinven tion to provide a thyroidectomy retractorwhich may be adjusted so that a firm and secure grip will be effected upon the skin flapsand subcutaneous' tissue in. the surgical field without dan ger of slippage.
It is a further object of the present invention to. provide a thyroidectomy retractor which is so designed as to present a wide field oi operation: and to avoid interference in any way.
It is an additional object of the present invention to! provide a thyroidectomy retractor having curved portions adapted to rest athwart the patients neck with the side portions removed from the field of operation by disposition laterally adjacent the patients neck.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of parts presently described and pointed: out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing-- 7 Figure 1- is a perspective view of a. thyroidectomy retractor constructed in accordance with and embodying the present invention, as shown in relative operative position;
Eigure 2 is a transverse. sectional view taken along. line 22 of Figure 1; and
Figur e 3' is a transverse sectional view takenalong line 3-3 of. Figure 2.
Referring now in more. detail and by reference, characters to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates. a preferred, embodiment of. my invention; A. designates a thyroidectomy retractor comprising a pair of spaced, parallel side bars 2,. I formed. preferably of straight. stainless steel rod: andbeing provided on oneof their ends with inwardly extending, cone- like fittings 2, 2 respecti'vely. Threaded at. its ends within the fittings- 2'; 2!, is a. transversely extending sustaining rod. 3' centrally provided with av forwardly and out.- wardly extending, symmetrical curved port-ion 4 which is inclined at an angle. of. approximately 44to the plane of the bars I,, I. Disposed centrally upon, and suitably secured to, the sus-' tai'ning rod 3' is-a blade 5 having a plurality of downwardly and outwardly curved prongs 6 in claw-like formation.
Slidably disposed oneach. of: the bars I, I, are sleeve elements I, I, respectively, each being integrally" provided with transverse; cylindrical portions 8, 8, respectively, the" outer ends of which are. drilled; and tapped. for receiving knurledithumbscrews 9, 9', respectively, adapted toengage. the bars I, I, and thereby lock: the sleeves 1, 1., in any selected position of: adjustment. The. cylindrical portions 8, 8 extend laterally inwardly with respect to the sleeves I, I, and are suitably secured to the ends of a sustaining rod is extending transversely therebetween. The sustaining rod In is centrally bent in the provision of a symmetrically curved portion [I extending forwardly and upwardly insubstantially parallel relation to the curved portion 4 of the sustaining rod 3. Welded or otherwise suitably secured centrally upon the curved portion I I of the sustaining rod H} is a blade member I2 having a plurality of prongs I3 downwardly and outwardly extending in opposite direction to that of the prongs 6 of the blade 5-. It willthus be seen that the thyroidectomy retractor A forms a unique polygonal or substantially fou'r sided device which, in effect, forms a closed frame around the operative field and extends laterally outwardly therefrom so that the mechanical adjustment elements and other parts which might interfere with the surgeons manipulations are fully removed from the operative zone.
In usage, after an incision has been made in the performance of an operation for the removal of the thyroid gland or a portion thereof, the retractor A is positioned upon the patients' neck with the sustaining. rods 3, I0, disposed horizontally thereacross (see Figure l) and the prongs 6, I3 of the blades 5, t2, respectively, are placed beneath the skin flaps and the subcutaneous tissue. The sustaining rods 3, ID, are then separated until the desired width of the held of operation is reached. Whereupon, the knurled thumbscre'ws 9,, 9, are tightened to provide a two-point contactfor maintaining the sustaining rod I0 firmly in the selected position, being thereby prevented from slipping during the operation. This adjustability feature permits the retractor A to be equally'useful in presenting a clear space for operating whether a small or a relatively large field of operation is desired. It will thus be noted that in actual use the bars I, I, and the portions ofthe sustaining rods 3, lil, adjacent thereto, will be disposed in' lateral relation to the patientsneck andthus be totally removed from the imme diate field of operation.
It should beunderstood that changes and modificationsin the form, construction, arrangement,
and combination of the several parts of thethyroidectomy retractor may be made and substituted for'those herein shown and described without departing from the nature. and principle of my invention;
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1".
