Abstract
A surgical retractor tool includes a handle and a blade extending transversely from a front end of the handle. The blade includes a proximal portion and a distal portion with respective proximal and distal tissue engaging surfaces. The distal tissue engaging surface may be skewed relative to the proximal tissue engaging surface such that the handle may be angled relative to a direction of retraction when the surgical retractor tool is used. A distal tip of the retractor may include a curved tongue that may be curved in a direction opposite the direction of retraction.
