Sternal retractors are used to separate the edges of surgical wounds. These are also used to hold back body organs to avoid distraction during incision. Generally, retractors are handheld and self-retaining tools that do not need to be held after insertion by having two of more blades opposing each other or hooks which are separated by ratchet, spring, worm gear, or other method to pull on contrary sides of incision. Sternal retractors have fenestrated blades and hand-cranked lever to separate the arms.
