Abstract

A vascular harvest retractor device (10) includes an elongate member (12) having an arcuate cross section defining an elongate passage therein, and a handle (30) integrally molded to its proximal end (14).
A transparent illumination member (50) has a proximal portion (52) connectable to a light source, and a distal portion within the elongate passage. The distal portion of the illumination member extends along an inner surface of the elongate member which includes a plurality of grooves for diffusing light transmitted from the proximal portion into the distal portion uniformly into, and along the elongate passage. The illumination member may be attached to the elongate member, and/or handle. The handle may include a cavity through which the l-illumination member extends, and to which a handle cover may be attached. The device may also include a support member attachable to the proximal end of the elongate member to further facilitate visualization of, and/or access into the elongate passage.
