Zusammenfassung:A modular retractor system may include a first annular retainer and a second annular retainer defining a central axis projecting through a first center point of the first annular retainer and a second center point of the second annular retainer. The modular retractor may further include a plurality of primary blades, pivotally coupled to the first annular retainer and an adjacent primary blade of the plurality of primary blades. In some embodiments, the first annular retainer may be configured to, selectively, radially contract towards the first center point such that each of the plurality of primary blades articulates with respect to the central axis. In some embodiments, the second annular retainer may circumscribe the outside of the plurality of primary blades and be configured to apply a biasing force against each of the plurality of primary blades towards the central axis. Additionally, a plurality of supplemental blades may be provided.
