Abstract
A retractor system includes first and second fixation pins and a retractor assembly including first and second retractor bodies. Each of the first and second retractor bodies includes a main panel and extension panels extending from the main panel. Each of the first and second retractor bodies is transitionable between a first configuration, in which, each of the first and second retractor bodies is substantially flat, and a second configuration, in which, each of the first and second retractor bodies has a substantially U-shaped profile such that the extension panels oppose each other. The extension panels of the first retractor body are configured to selectively overlap the respective extension panels of the second retractor body when the first and second retractor bodies are in the second configuration.
