1. A guide for a retractor, comprising: a first member and a second member detachably engageable with said first member, each of said first member and said second member having a pair of spaced apart side flanges and a recessed interior surface between said side flanges, wherein a slot is formed upon contacting an inside edge of said first member with a corresponding apposed inside edge of said second member, wherein said first member and said second member include a tip flange with gaps between said side flanges of each member and said tip flange of each member, wherein said slot is adapted for receiving the retractor therein, and wherein said tip flange protrudes inwardly relative to said interior surface and into a portion of the slot. 2. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first member and said second member include a distal end having tapered edges. 3. The guide as claimed in claim 2, wherein said distal end includes a rounded tip. 4. The guide as claimed in claim 3, wherein said rounded tip is a substantially quarter-rounded tip. 5. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said recessed interior surface has a width of between about 12 to 20 millimeters. 6. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first member and said second member have a length of between about 25 to 90 millimeters. 7. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first member and said second member each have a thickness at a distal end of about 1 millimeter. 8. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said slot is substantially V-shaped. 9. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein said slot extends from a proximal end of said first member and a proximal end of said second member to a position at or near a distal end of said first member and a distal end of said second member. 10. The guide as claimed in claim 1, wherein apertures are formed at lateral positions of a distal end of said first member and a distal end of said second member upon contacting said tip flange and said inside edge of said first member with the corresponding apposed tip flange and inside edge of said second member. 11. A guide for a retractor, comprising: a first member and an apposed detachable second member, each having a length of between about 25 to 90 millimeters;each of said members having a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end of said first member and said distal end of said second member each having tapered edges and a thickness of about 1 millimeter;each of said distal ends having a substantially quarter-rounded tip which, when paired together, forms a substantially half-rounded end portion or tip;each of said members having a pair of spaced apart side flanges and a recessed interior surface between said side flanges, said recessed interior surface having a width of between about 12 to 20 millimeters and having a substantially V-shaped slot, extending from both of said proximal ends to a position at or near both of said distal ends, formed upon contacting an inside edge of said first member with a corresponding apposed inside edge of said second member, said slot adapted for receiving the retractor therein; andeach of said members having an interior tip flange, raised relative to said interior surface, with gaps between said side flanges of each member and said tip flange of each member, wherein apertures are formed at lateral positions of both of said distal ends upon contacting said interior tip flange and said inside edge of said first member with the apposed interior tip flange and inside edge of said second member. 12. A guide for a retractor, comprising: a first member detachably engageable with a second member, each of said first member and said second member having a pair of spaced apart side flanges, a recessed interior surface between said side flanges, and a tip flange, with gaps between said side flanges of each member and said tip flange of each member, and wherein said tip flange protrudes inwardly from said interior surface. 13. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein a slot is formed upon contacting an inside edge of said first member with a corresponding apposed inside edge of said second member. 14. The guide as claimed in claim 13, wherein said slot is adapted for receiving the retractor therein. 15. The guide as claimed in claim 13, wherein said slot is substantially V-shaped. 16. The guide as claimed in claim 13, wherein said slot extends from a proximal end of said first member and a proximal end of said second member to a position at or near a distal end of said first member and a distal end of said second member. 17. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein said first member and said second member include a distal end having tapered edges. 18. The guide as claimed in claim 17, wherein said distal end includes a rounded tip. 19. The guide as claimed in claim 18, wherein said rounded tip is a substantially quarter-rounded tip. 20. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein said recessed interior surface has a width of between about 12 to 20 millimeters. 21. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein said first member and said second member have a length of between about 25 to 90 millimeters. 22. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein said first member and said second member each have a thickness at a distal end of about 1 millimeter. 23. The guide as claimed in claim 12, wherein apertures are formed at lateral positions of a distal end of said first member and a distal end of said second member upon contacting said tip flange and an inside edge of said first member with a corresponding apposed tip flange and inside edge of said second member.
