    RETRACTOR FOUND IN CPD. CASE TYPE: NO ASSOCIATED PROCEDURE. CAN WE CONFIRM WHEN THE RETRACTORS BECAME DAMAGED? DURING THE PROCEDURE OR IN CPD? AS PER THE MPS " I CANNOT 100 PERCENT CONFIRM BECAUSE I AM NOT INFORMED THEY ARE DAMAGED UNTIL CPD LETS ME KNOW. BY EXAMINING THE RETRACTORS, IT APPEARS THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED DURING THE CASE BECAUSE OF THE GAUGES (I DO NOT KNOW HOW THESE GAUGES WOULD APPEAR FROM CPD). MY GUESS IS THAT THE SAW IS HITTING THE RETRACTORS DURING THE BONE CUTTING PROCESS."
