A surgical blower for providing a directed stream to clear a surgical site, that can be used in multiple different use modes. In one use mode, the surgical blower is handheld by a user during operation. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is handheld. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object such as a sternal retractor. In another mode, the distal end of the blower is free and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object. An apparatus including a blower and a stabilizer is provided. Methods of using the blower as well as the apparatus are also provided.

1. A surgical blower comprising: an elongated, flexible tube having a lumen extending therethrough;an attachment member disposed at a distal end portion of said blower, said attachment member being configured for releasable attachment to a tissue contacting foot of a heart stabilizer instrument;a distal tip in fluid communication with the elongated flexible tube for directing a fluid stream to clear a surgical site;a handle operatively associated with the elongated, flexible tube; anda sleeve having an elongate malleable body, wherein the elongated flexible tube is positioned therethrough and wherein the distal tip is extendable in a distal direction relative to a distal end of the sleeve to increase its distance from the distal end of the sleeve. 2. The blower of claim 1, wherein said elongated flexible tube is a non-malleable tube, and said elongated flexible tube extends through said handle and extends distally and proximally of said handle. 3. The blower of claim 2, wherein the sleeve has a length extends distally from a distal end of said handle towards the distal tip. 4. The blower of claim 3, wherein at least a portion of said elongated, flexible, non-malleable tube is extendible beyond the distal end of said sleeve in a distal direction relative to the distal end of the sleeve to increase its distance from the distal end of the sleeve. 5. The blower of claim 1, wherein said lumen comprises a first lumen and said elongated, flexible, tube comprises a first tube, said blower further comprising a second tube comprising a second elongated, flexible tube, said second tube comprising a second lumen extending therethrough. 6. The blower of claim 1, and wherein said attachment member is adjacent said distal tip. 7. The blower of claim 1, wherein the attachment member comprises a post extending from the distal tip. 8. A surgical system comprising the surgical blower of claim 1 and a stabilizer instrument comprising: a shaft; anda tissue contacting foot extending from the shaft, when coupled to the tissue contacting foot the attachment member is oriented at a predetermined, non-parallel angle with respect to the tissue contacting foot so as to direct the fluid stream to the surgical site. 9. A system comprising: a surgical blower instrument for providing a directed stream to clear a surgical site, wherein said surgical blower comprises: an elongated flexible tube having a lumen extending therethrough;a nozzle in fluid communication with the elongated flexible tube for directing a liquid spray to a surgical site;an engagement member attached to said nozzle; anda sleeve housing a portion of the elongated flexible tube, the sleeve operatively associated with and extending proximally from the nozzle, wherein said nozzle and said engagement member are extendible in a distal direction relative to the sleeve; anda stabilizer instrument comprising a shaft; and a foot coupled to a distal end of the shaft, said foot including a mating member;said engagement member being configured and dimensioned for engagement with said mating member. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein said foot comprises a longitudinal axis, wherein said engagement member and said mating member, when attached, maintain a distal tip of said surgical blower at a non-parallel angle relative to said longitudinal axis, while allowing rotation of said distal tip about an axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein said surgical blower further comprises a handle at a proximal end portion thereof, said flexible tube and said engagement member being extendible to increase a distance thereof from said handle. 12. The system of claim 9, comprising a plurality of said mating members each located at relatively different locations on said foot. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein said foot of said stabilizer instrument comprises a contact member having a contact surface adapted to contact tissue to perform a stabilizing function; wherein said surgical blower instrument is user adjustable to change a pattern of spray delivered from said nozzle to the surgical site adjacent said contact surface. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein said nozzle is formed through a wall of said tube. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein said tube is rotatable about a longitudinal axis thereof, relative to said contact member. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein said tube is axially translatable relative to said contact member. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein said mating member comprises a post and said surgical blower instrument is mounted to said stabilizer instrument via said post, wherein said sleeve is malleable and manipulatable by a user so as to hold a desired configuration that causes said nozzle to be pointed in a desired direction and orientation. 18. The system of claim 13, further comprising an actuator mounted to an actuator shaft extending from said foot, the actuator in fluid communication with said nozzle, wherein said actuator is operable to prevent spray from flowing through said nozzle in a first configuration, and to allow spray to flow through said nozzle in a second configuration. 19. The system of claim 9, further comprising an actuator connected to said tube and configured to facilitate movement of said tube by a user of said apparatus. 20. The system of claim 9, wherein said engagement member is configured and dimensioned for releasable attachment to said mating member so as to allow for rotation of a distal end portion of the surgical blower relative to the stabilizer when the engagement member is coupled to the mating member. 21. A surgical blower comprising: an elongated, flexible tube having a lumen extending therethrough;a distal tip comprising a nozzle in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongated flexible tube for directing a liquid spray to a surgical site;a handle operatively associated with and located proximal to the nozzle;a clip attachable to a retractor and the handle, wherein the clip and handle are slidably mounted with respect to one another along a length of the handle to facilitate positioning and vary the distance of the distal tip relative to the retractor; andan incremental positioning mechanism arranged between the clip and handle, the incremental positioning mechanism is configured for controlled movement and retention of the clip at incremental predetermined positions along the portion of the handle. 22. The surgical blower of claim 21, wherein the incremental positioning mechanism is an incremental positioning means for controlled movement and retention of the clip at incremental predetermined positions along the portion of the handle. 23. The surgical blower of claim 21, wherein the clip comprises a pawl and wherein the incremental positioning mechanism comprises a plurality of ratchet teeth disposed on the handle and operatively associated with the pawl. 24. The blower of claim 1, further comprising a clip attachable to a retractor and the handle, wherein the clip and handle are slidably mounted with respect to one another along a length of the handle to facilitate positioning and vary the distance of the distal tip relative to the retractor. 25. The blower of claim 24, wherein the blower further comprises an incremental positioning mechanism configured for controlled movement and retention of the clip at incremental predetermined positions along the portion of the handle. 26. The blower of claim 25, wherein the clip comprises a pawl and wherein the incremental positioning mechanism comprises a plurality of ratchet teeth operatively associated with the pawl.
