Abstract:
A dilation system for accessing a surgical target site to perform surgical procedures. In one version, the dilation system includes a wedge assembly and an actuating mechanism. The wedge assembly comprises includes a base and a plurality of blades extending from the base so that the distal end of the blades extend away from the base. The mechanism is operably associated with the blades so as to cause the distal end of the blades to move from a closed condition to an expanded condition.

Claim (Index 2):
The dilation system of  claim 1 , wherein the actuating mechanism comprises a drive member having a proximal end and a distal end, the drive member slidably positioned between the first blade and the second blade and configured in such a way that axial movement of the drive member moves the first blade and the second blade from the closed condition to the expanded condition.
