Abstract
- Surgical retractors are used in order to hold tissue aside while surgery is performed on some underlying bodily structure. Depending on the size and depth of the cavity as well as the area of the body being accessed, different retracting implements as well as retractor ring sizes and shapes are needed. This project is a preliminary attempt to create a modular retractor ring and pinnable retractors that are all entirely 3D printed.

Bill of Materials
STL and OpenSCAD files: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/modular-surgical-retractor-ring
- Surgical retractor ring module
- Retractor Scoop
- Retainer Ring
- EasyPin
Rule of thumb: Every ring module needs a retainer ring if a closed loop is used, and every retractor needs an EasyPin.
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT
Medical knowledge is required in order to assess the configuration and number of components necessary for each procedure. Each module is 12 cm from joint to joint, and can be joined at a minimum angle of 60 degrees to any other degree in 30 degree increments until the far limit is reached. This means the smallest configuration is a triangle, and the largest only limited by imagination. Practically a hexagon or square might be used. Modules can also be joined end to end to increase length.
Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions
- Directions for printing
- Directions for assembly
- Print time estimate
- Include assembly time estimate
- Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum. (http://www.appropedia.org/Special:Upload)
- Consider video if appropriate

Common Problems and Solutions
- Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them
Cost savings
- If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
- Estimate your costs
- Find a commercial equivalent, cite it and put the [url in square brackets]
- Calculate $ savings and % savings
Benefited Internet Communities
- Name and add links to at least 5 using single brackets around [url name]
References
- The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: [1]
- ↑ web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html
Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
