Abstract
A mechanical dilator is disclosed, which can include a first arm coupled to a second arm by a fulcrum, the first arm and the second arm cooperatively defining a lock and stop mechanism configured to limit lateral movement of the first arm with respect to the second arm. The mechanical dilator can further include a dilator body having a first side extending from the first arm and a second side extending from the second arm, where the fulcrum is configured to translate lateral movement of the first arm relative to the second arm to lateral movement of the first side relative to the second side.
