A retractor system includes one or more blades, a handle, and a frame. The handle includes first and second arms with jaw portions and recesses configured to removably retain a blade. Both arms include rotatable connections and handles, where the rotatable connections are between jaw portions and handles. The rotatable connections are connected together such that the arms are rotatable with respect to one another. In one embodiment, the recesses are partial disc shapes opposed to one another, such that when the jaw portions are in a closed position, a disc-shaped space is present between the jaw portions in the closed position. The blade includes a corresponding disc-shape protrusion that may be retained in the recesses, and in some embodiments may include one or more notches to mate with a protrusion in a recess that prevents blade rotation while in the handle.
