摘要:
A surgical retractor comprises an elongate member having a coupling region disposed at one end thereof. The retractor is adapted to engage a base of a head of a pedicle screw. The coupling region of the elongate member has a filament-receiving hole adapted to receive a filament which captures the head of the pedicle screw. During surgery, a physician may retract muscle and soft tissue by simply pressing the elongate member against such tissue.
