A generally U-shaped surgical instrument for prying apart and keeping open the rib cage in open heart surgery. There is a stationary arm with a toothed cross bar attached to it. A movable arm similar in configuration to the stationary arm has a housing at one end which slides on the bar and can be cranked open to force the sternum apart. The housing holds the crank mechanism and a pair of circular bearing inserts. The cranking mechanism is self-locking. One of the inserts is a safety feature, because it can be quickly popped out, should the movable arm become jammed on the bar during the cranking sequence, to provide clearance to unbind the arm on the bar. Both inserts are replaceable and take the wear and tear during the cranking process. New inserts can be inserted to refurbish the instrument. There is a V-clamp that slides on the arms and holds a support rod. There is a castellated clamp that slides on the support rod and it has an articulated extension rod. There is a self-centering universal clamp that slides on the extension rod and it holds a sternum spreader blade in position. All three clamps are used to adjust and hold a blade in position. There is also a boot clip that can be mounted on the arms for holding the web of sutures while the surgeon is sewing in an artificial heart valve.

A valve retractor and sternum spreader surgical instrument comprising: a stationary arm having a first end and a second end; a toothed cross bar also having a first end and a second end, said toothed cross bar first end being secured to said first end of said stationary arm in a generally perpendicular relation and forming a generally L-shaped section; a moveable arm having a first end and a second end; said first end of said movable arm having a housing with a slotted opening which is attachable to said toothed cross bar and is laterally moveable along the length of said cross bar; a pair of load bearing swivel inserts demountably secured in said housing for containing and guiding said cross bar within said slotted opening of said housing on said moveable arm; said pair of load bearing swivel inserts comprises: a first insert and a second insert positioned separately in two swivel insert holes in said housing, said swivel insert holes being staggered and on opposite sides relative to said cross bar; said inserts are removable and can swivel in said swivel insert holes to allow said housing and said moveable arm to pivot slightly relative to said toothed cross bar to prevent said toothed cross bar from binding in said housing while said device is in use; each of said first and second inserts being cylindrical in shape; at least said first insert having a first secant flat width cut away laterally for creating a sliding surface, said width of said first secant flat being slightly larger than the thickness of said toothed cross bar so that said toothed cross bar can freely slide back and forth in said first secant flat cutaway; said first scant flat having a chord face, an upper secant portion, and a lower secant portion; rack and pinion means in said housing for moving said moveable arm along the length of said cross bar; said stationary arm and said moveable arm being in a spaced parallel relationship with each other and able to open and close parallel to each other by rotating said rack and pinion means in said housing of said moveable arm; both said moveable arm and said stationary arm having a plurality of swivel blades connected to them and extending below such that said blades can engage the walls of a surgically cut opening on a patient and said movable arm can be extended away from said stationary arm by rotating said rack and pinion means to spread apart and hold open the walls of the opening thereby exposing a body cavity for allowing the surgeon to operate.
