Wound retraction devices (ssss1 and ssss1) are used in minimally invasive procedures to improve surgical exposure with 360° wound edge retraction, protect wound edges from contamination, and facilitate laparoscopic‐assisted procedures [10]. Wound retractors improve surgical exposure by applying even, outward circumferential pressure to the wound margins, transitioning a linear incision to a circular opening with improved working space. This improved surgical exposure is achieved without the need for lengthening the incision and enables the surgeon to insert at least one finger into the abdomen, providing palpation and haptic feedback during exploration [11]. Benefits of using a wound retraction device include atraumatic circumferential wound retraction, barrier protection of the body wall and skin against contamination by bacteria and/or neoplastic cells, and improved extracorporeal intestine exposure without compromising vascular supply [11–13]. Reports in human medicine demonstrate a significant decrease in the occurrence of surgical site infection in patients undergoing major intestinal surgery when wound retractors are utilized [12, 13].
