Internally-anchored endoscopic retractor (A sterile, nonimplantable, intraoperative surgical instrument designed to be inserted into the abdominal or thoracic cavity through a compatible endoscopic instrument (e.g., an access port) to provide hands-free retraction of a selected organ by anchoring it to the cavity wall during a surgical intervention (e.g., gastroenterological, gynaecological and urological laparoscopic or thoracoscopic procedures). It is inserted using a dedicated applier and typically consists of two interconnected clips that clutch the tissue for anchoring to the cavity wall and grasping the organ. This is a single-use device.)
