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.

As a rule of thumb for components, a closed loop composed of ring modules will require a retainer ring for every module. Every retractor scoop will require one EasyPin.
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- Sanitary environment for printing and post processing
- Sand paper and needle file for finishing parts
Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT
Medical knowledge is required to determine the ring size and shape required for a specific operation
Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions
- Provide directions for print/assembly - be detailed enough in your “how to” to ensure that someone could construct the device from your description. Consider the elegance of IKEA like instructions.
- Include 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]].
