ABSTRACT

The internal mammary artery is considered the gold-standard conduit in coronary artery bypass graft. We have designed an sternal retractor in order to expose and harvest the internal mammary artery. This is simple, small, easy-to-use, made in one piece, and easy-to-sterile. By applying counter-traction to properly view the internal mammary artery, undesirable side effects from sternal retraction have dramatically decreased.
