The invention belongs to the technical field of cardiopulmonary
transplantation, and discloses a sternum and rib
retractor for cardiopulmonary
transplantation, which comprises a fixing component and an adjusting component slidably mounted on the fixing component, a first
distraction component is mounted on the outer wall of the fixing component, a plurality of air bags are mounted on the outer wall of the first
distraction component, the air bags are in contact with the sternum of a patient during expansion, and the adjusting component is slidably mounted on the fixing component. A
cushion layer is formed to prevent the sternum from being in direct contact with
metal of the
retractor, a fixing cavity is formed in the fixing
assembly, and an
extrusion plate is installed on the outer wall of the fixing cavity in a penetrating mode, so that air enters the air bag through a pipeline, and the air bag expands to conduct buffering protection on the sternum of a patient. When the sternum
distraction device is used, the distraction plate is embedded into the sternum of a patient, the
handle drives the fixing block and the adjusting bolt to rotate, the position of the distraction plate is adjusted, and the adjusting function is achieved. The air bag dynamically adapts to the sternum form, the retraction pressure is dispersed, compression
necrosis of local tissue is avoided, and the sternum tissue of a patient is effectively protected.
