@article{chanoit_pell_bolotin_buckner_williams_crenshaw_2019, title={Retraction mechanics of Finochietto-style self-retaining thoracic retractors}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1475-925X"]}, DOI={10.1186/s12938-019-0664-z}, abstractNote={Analyze the mechanics of Finochietto-style retractors, including the responses of thoracic tissues during thoracotomy, with an emphasis on tissue trauma and means for its reduction. Mechanical analyses of the retractor were performed, including analysis of deformation under load and kinematics of the crank mechanism. Thoracotomies in a porcine model were performed in anesthetized animals (7) and fresh cadavers (17) using an instrumented retractor. Mechanical analyses revealed that arm motion is a non-linear function of handle rotation, that deformation of the retractor under load concentrates force at one edge of the retractor blade, and that the retractor behaves like a spring, deforming under the load of retraction and continuing to force open the incision long after crank rotation stops. Experimental thoracotomies included retractions ranging from 50 to 112 mm over 30 to 370 s, generating maximum forces of 118 to 470 N (12–50 kgf). Tissue ruptures occurred in 12 of the 24 retractions. These ruptures all occurred at retraction distances wider than 30 mm and at forces greater than 122.5 N. Significant tissue ruptures were observed for nearly all retractions at higher retraction rates (exceeding ½ rotation of the crank per 10 s). The Finochietto-style retractor can generate large forces and some aspects of its design increase the probability of tissue trauma.}, journal={BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ONLINE}, author={Chanoit, Guillaume and Pell, Charles A. and Bolotin, Gil and Buckner, Gregory D. and Williams, Jeffrey P. and Crenshaw, Hugh C.}, year={2019}, month={Apr} }

Tissue damage occurred in 1 case for the minimally invasive atrial retractor and 2 cases for the HeartPort retractor. The mean surgical times for retractor placement and mitral valve annulus exposure were 107.4 and 39.2 seconds for the HeartPort and minimally invasive atrial retractor retractors, respectively, with a difference of 68.2 seconds (P = .0092, df = 4).The minimally invasive atrial retractor is a suitable alternative for atrial retraction compared with standard techniques of retraction. It provides comparable exposure of the mitral valve annulus, is less time consuming to place, provides subjectively more working volume within the left atrium, and has the advantage of minimal atriotomy incision length and customizable retraction.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY}, author={Bean, Eric and Chanoit, Guillaume and Jernigan, Shaphan and Bolotin, Gil and Osborne, Jason and Buckner, Gregory}, year={2008}, month={Dec}, pages={1492–1495} }
