Abstract

This invention is a surgical instrument (10) for use during procedures to harvest saphenous veins simultaneously retracts tissue, and exposes sections of the vein. The instrument includes a handle (12), a retractor blade (20) anchored to the handle, a light source (22) near a distal tip of the blade, and a power source (14, 16) for the light source. In use, the light source provides a cone of illumination (30) which directs light into a surgical field surrounding, and defined by the distal tip of the retractor blade.
