The invention relates to a surgical retractor fixing device, comprising a clamp body (16) arranged for removably fixing the surgical retractor fixing device (10) to a frameset (93) that extends along a frameset longitudinal axis (L) and that is arranged to be mounted on an operating table a rotating body (14) attached to the clamp body (16), the rotating body (14) being pivotable around an axis of rotation (A), the rotating body (14) comprising a fixing element (32) arranged for fixing a surgical retractor (12) the clamp body (16) having a mouth to at least partially encompass the frameset (93) and the clamp body (16) comprising a locking device, the locking device having a locking rod (106) arranged for engaging with the frameset (93) thus fixing the clamp body (16) to the frameset (93) and a locking lever (128) arranged for actuating the locking rod (106), the locking lever (128) being pivotable around a locking lever swivel axis (S), the locking rod (106) being arranged to exert a rotating body (14) clamping force on the rotating body (14), so that the rotating body (14) is clamped when the locking lever actuates the locking rod. According to the invention the locking device is arranged to actuate the fixing element so that the fixing element fixes the surgical retractor when the locking lever actuates the locking rod.
