The product is a bowl-shaped device that is intended to be used as an organ or bowel retractor in laparoscopic surgeries. This device consists of a central, hollow rod made of steel that has a straight proximal end and a curved distal end. The aforementioned distal end of the device has an inflatable portion, the material for which encircles the central rod. The inflatable portion also contains tubular projections which emanate from where the material contacts the central rod out to the edges of the inflatable portion. These projections are denoted henceforth as "ribs". The inflatable material is a biocompatible polymer that can hold sufficient tension and pressure for the application of laparoscopic surgery. The ribs curve inwards, which create a bowl-like structure when fully inflated and deployed. Each of the ribs are connected to the central rod and to each adjacent rib via membrane, which is connected medially to the central shaft all along the distal, curved end. This creates a functional inflatable endoskeleton to support the bowels and organs that will be in contact with this device during laparoscopic surgery. The amount of inflation of the device can be modulated by the surgeon, by increasing or decreasing the inflation pressure as desired by adding more compressed air or withdrawing compressed air, respectively.
