  A medical retraction device is constructed as a plurality of at least three arms hinged together at a hinge point, and extensions to grip a patient's tissue for retraction. Each arm has a rod portion and terminates with a retraction hook. The arms have a ratcheting function, in which linear movement of the arms effects retraction of a patient's tissue and provides for exposure of a surgical site. Finger grips extend from at least a subset of the plurality of arms and at least one of the finger grips controls the ratcheting function for that arm. In operation, the operator makes an incision and inserts retraction device so that the rod end portions extend into the incision. The operator then adjusts the arms by controlling the ratcheting.
