AB    NOVELTY - The retractor has a connecting member extending between a proximal member and a distal member to retract sides of a wound opening (6). A release member (81) releases the distal member from a retracting configuration for removal of the distal member from the opening. The release member is stowed away before the release member is required to be used to release the distal member. An outer layer of a sleeve (2) is interposed between a proximal ring (4) and a guide member (51) to control pulling of the sleeve, and the opening is biased toward a closed configuration.
   USE - Used for retracting sides of a wound opening to provide a maximum exposure of an organ or body structures for examination and access for surgical procedures, in an instrument to perform a procedure in a laparoscopic surgery.
   ADVANTAGE - The release member is stowed away before the release member is required to be used to release the distal member, thus providing a neat, simple wound retractor without the risk of the release member obstructing the surgeon`s potentially limited working space. The outer layer of the sleeve is interposed between the proximal ring and the guide member to control the pulling of the sleeve, thus controlling the application of the retraction force. The connecting member protects the sides of the retracted wound opening. The opening is biased toward the closed configuration to maintain the interior of the abdomen to be sealed and to minimize gas pressure leakage through the valve. The configuration of the wound retractor provides a suitable range of incision sizes and is easy to manufacture and easy to manipulate. The configuration of the retractor provides a greater access using a smaller incision, and varies incision size as desired, reduces extra-abdominal profile, increases the effective working length of an instrument and the working area outside the abdomen.
   DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method of performing a surgical procedure.
   DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of a wound retractor.
