Patent attributes
A vein harvesting device is disclosed. The vein harvesting device includes a handle assembly, an elongated portion extending distally from the handle assembly and defining a longitudinal axis, an end effector, and a retractor. The end effector is disposed adjacent a distal portion of the elongated portion, and includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. At least one jaw member is movable toward the other jaw member. The retractor is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the elongated portion, and includes a shaft and a pair of legs. The retractor is movable from a non-deployed position where the shaft is aligned with the longitudinal axis, to a deployed position where the shaft is disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.
