Abstract
An instrument (10) for holding skin (18) at an incision site having two pivotally connected elongated members (1, 6), each member (1, 6) having releasably engageable handles (2, 7) while one member has a hook (15) and the other member has a paddle (9). The hook (15) can be moved into and out of proximity with the paddle (9) for shielding the hook (15) when it is in close proximity to the paddle (9).
Claims
1. An instrument for holding skin at an incision site, comprising: a first elongated member having a handle at one end and a leg at the other end terminating in a hook having at least one C-shaped bend extending from the first leg and having a sharp-tipped end and an arc of between about 120° to about 180°; a second elongated member having a handle at one end and a leg at the other end terminating in a paddle; means for pivotally connecting said first and second member so that said hook can be moved into and out of proximity with said paddle for shielding the hook when it is in close proximity to the paddle; and means for releasably engaging said first and second handles.
2. The instrument of claim 1 , wherein the paddle has a face that is slightly curved for conforming to the shape of the hook.
3. The instrument of claim 1 , wherein the means for releasably engaging the first and second handles comprises the first handle having a first serrated face, the second handle having a second serrated face, and said first serrated face and said second serrated face being releasably engagable.
4. The instrument of claim 1, wherein the paddle is about 2.0 mm to about 10.0 mm wide, and about 3.0 mm to about 14.0 mm long.
5. The instrument of claim 1, wherein the means for pivotally connecting the first and second members is located between the handle and the leg on both the first and second members.
6. A method for holding back skin adjacent an incision to provide a surgeon improved access to tissue and bone beneath the incision, comprising the steps of: selecting an instrument for holding skin at an incision site having a first elongated member having a handle at one end and a leg at the other end terminating in a hook having at least one C-shaped bend and having a sharp-tipped end and an arc of between about 120° to about 180°; a second elongated member having a handle at one end and a leg at the other end terminating in a paddle; means for pivotally connecting said first and second members so that said hook can be moved into and out of proximity with said paddle for shielding the hook when it is in close proximity to the paddle; and means for releasably engaging said first and second handles; aligning the instrument on one side of the incision with the hook adjacent the incision and the paddle located away from the incision; hooking the hook into the skin at the incision; pivoting the paddle against the outer surface of the skin, opposing the hook; and engaging the means for releasably engaging the first and second handles such that the skin is held back from the incision.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein when engaging the means for releasably engaging the first and second handles, the paddle is brought within about 1.0 mm to about 2.5 mm of the hook.
