The present application discloses a telescopic retractor holder comprising a telescopic rod (10) with an inner tube (11), an outer tube (12) and a locking mechanism as well as a retractor rod (20). Said retractor rod has at its one end a retractor mounting (21), which is adapted for releasably gripping a retractor, and at its other end is fastened to the telescopic rod (10) by means of a jointed connection (30). The telescopic rod (10) can be supported on an operating table and has an actuating mechanism (15), by which the locking mechanism can be transferred from a first position, in which the inner tube (11) and the outer tube (12) of the telescopic rod (10) are held immovably in relation to one another, into a second position, in which the inner tube (11) and the outer tube (12) of the telescopic rod (10) are movable in relation to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tubes (11, 12). |
