Abstract
A surgical retractor may be provided for a surgical procedure such as spinal surgery. The surgical retractor may include a separator, a first and second blade holder coupled to the separator, and blade assemblies coupled to the blade holders. The separator may move the blade holders to change the position of the first blade holder relative to the second blade holder. The blade assemblies may retract tissue of a patient. An activator of a blade holder may be used to rotate a first blade of the blade assembly. Rotating the first blade tilts the blade assembly to create a larger opening at a distal end of the retractor. In some embodiments, side blades may be placed in the retractor.
