N2  - This inexpensive retractor is made in the form of a truncated cone by sewing a section of stocking around pliable copper rings. A dozen or more of different sizes will be found useful in the isolation of infected areas, in reaching inaccessible sources of hemorrhage and facilitating suturing without heavy packing and in searching for lesions causing intestinal obstruction.
