[0002] During medical surgery, doctors need to stretch the patient's cut skin to facilitate repair operations on the tissues, organs, bones, blood vessels, etc. inside the skin. Spreaders are essential surgical instruments in many surgical operations. They are simple and convenient to operate, can save manpower and operating space, and are therefore favored by surgeons. However, due to the limitations of the structural design of existing spreaders, someone still needs to be responsible for pulling the spreader during actual use, which wastes manpower; and because the assistant does not know the doctor's desired spread part, spread angle, when to spread, and spread degree, the surgeon needs to constantly remind the assistant to correct the operation method, which will distract the surgeon's attention and is very detrimental to the operation.

[0003] As in the prior art, a utility model with application number 201821186667.5 discloses a skin retractor, including a support rod and an elastic member, the support rod including a hand-held portion and an opening portion respectively located at both ends of the support rod and a corner downward portion located between the hand-held portion and the opening portion; the support rod has a pair of and is arranged along a cross-section with each other, and the two support rods are rotatably connected at the intersection point; the spatial planes where the two hand-held portions are located are staggered and parallel to the spatial planes where the two opening portions are located; the two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the two hand-held portions, and after the two hand-held portions move in a direction approaching each other, the two opening portions move in a direction away from each other, and the two hand-held portions compress the elastic member.

[0004] When using the skin retractor provided in the above utility model, the surgeon needs to operate the skin retractor with one hand and perform other operations with the other hand, which will greatly limit and affect the surgeon's surgical operation; in addition, in the above-mentioned prior art retractor, the part that contacts the skin is not smooth, and it is inevitable to cause damage to the skin during the retraction process, especially since the retraction time is usually long during surgery, and the sharp part of the retractor is likely to cause irreversible damage to the skin tissue. Summary of the invention
