==EPIGASTRIC RETRACTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023950 titled 'EPIGASTRIC RETRACTOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a retractor member that has a body portion with a first lateral perimeter edge and a second lateral perimeter edge parallel to a longitudinal axis. The body portion also has an upper surface and a lower surface between the first and second lateral perimeter edges. The retractor member includes first and second lateral support portions coupled to the body portion at or adjacent to the first and second lateral perimeter edges, respectively. The first and second lateral support portions have coupling portions at their top end portions.

* The patent describes a retractor member used in surgical procedures.
* The retractor member has a body portion with upper and lower surfaces.
* The body portion is defined by first and second lateral perimeter edges parallel to a longitudinal axis.
* The retractor member includes first and second lateral support portions coupled to the body portion.
* The first and second lateral support portions have coupling portions at their top end portions.

Potential Applications:
* The retractor member can be used in various surgical procedures where tissue retraction is required.
* It can be utilized in abdominal surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, or any procedure that requires access to internal organs or structures.

Problems Solved:
* The retractor member provides a stable and secure retraction of tissues during surgical procedures.
* It allows surgeons to have better visibility and access to the surgical site.
* It minimizes the risk of tissue damage or injury during retraction.

Benefits:
* The retractor member improves surgical outcomes by providing a reliable and efficient tissue retraction.
* It reduces the time required for surgical procedures by facilitating better access to the surgical site.
* The retractor member enhances patient safety by minimizing the risk of tissue trauma or complications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a retractor member includes a body portion extending along a longitudinal axis and being at least partially defined by a first lateral perimeter edge and a second lateral perimeter edge that each extends parallel to the longitudinal axis. the body portion additionally includes an upper surface and a lower surface that each extends between the first lateral perimeter edge and the second lateral perimeter edge. a first lateral support portion is coupled to the body portion at a first location at or adjacent to the first lateral perimeter edge, and a second lateral support portion is coupled to the body portion at a second location at or adjacent to the second lateral perimeter edge. a first coupling portion is disposed at a top end portion of the first lateral support portion and a second coupling portion is disposed at a top end portion of the second lateral support portion.
