Abstract: An improved bone retractor tool includes a pair of arms pivotably connected to one in a pliers-like configuration and a pair of tissue engagement plates each having forward and rearward portions, each of the pair of tissue engagement plates mounted on the upper end of one of the pair of arms and extending generally parallel with one another when the pair of arms are in closed position. Forward bone engagement spikes are mounted on and extend forwards from the forward portions of the tissue engagement plates. A releasable securement mechanism is mounted on the pair of arms for releasably retaining the pair of arms in a selected position relative to one another, and a tensioning device is mounted on the pair of arms for tensioning the lower ends away from one another thereby forcing the pair of tissue engagement plates towards one another upon the securement mechanism being released.

Abstract: A portable debridement and irrigation device includes a body structure and a disposable spray nozzle structure and spray reduction cup removably mounted thereon. A battery-powered electric pump device is in liquid transmission connection with the disposable spray nozzle device. A removable and replaceable liquid storage container which holds a sterile liquid is held within a storage container receiving chamber formed within the body structure in liquid transmission connection with the electric pump, and a pump engagement switch is operatively interposed between the battery and the electric pump for engaging and disengaging the electric pump. Finally, a pump speed control device with a limiting device for preventing it from proceeding beyond a predetermined operating setting unless the operator intentionally disengages the limiting device is operatively connected to the electric pump for adjusting the operating speed of the pump and thus the outflow speed of liquid from the spray nozzle.
