Need help identifying a surgical instrument please

[Ellie]

If you can help me identify a surgical instrument that looks like a bent fork (I am doing the
keywords for these photos), please respond to my normal e-mail address (take out the *)
elliemk*@*mindspring*.com*. Then I will send you to the site with the photos. I am using a throwaway
address for this post because I already get 300-500 spam e-mails per day! Please reply as soon as
possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Sounds like a Volkmann's Retractor. There are a number of online surgical supply catalogs (such as
surgical911.com) that have pictures you can use to get the names of other instruments.
