1. A device for inspecting a cavity of a patient, comprising:
a retractor body (100) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) between a distal end (101) and a proximal end (102);
a handle applied (200) or fixed to the proximal end (102) of the retractor body (100); wherein the retractor body (100) has a distal portion (110) having a substantially tubular shape and a proximal portion (120) extending from the distal portion (110) in a diverging fashion, wherein the distal portion (110) defines a retraction zone of an internal cavity of a patient and internally delimits an internal volume (V) accessible from a rear access opening (130) made on the proximal portion (120), wherein said distal portion of the retractor body has at least one front (111) and/or lateral opening (140) to allow access to the mucosa or tissue of the patient from said internal volume (V); and
at least one support seat (500) arranged in the proximal portion (120) of the retractor body (100) and configured to supportingly receive a front surface of a laser head (600), and in that said at least one support seat (500) is arranged in a radially external position with respect to an external profile of the distal portion (101),
wherein said at least one support seat (500) is directly or indirectly connected to the retractor body (100) through a hinge connection; said support seat (500) being reversibly movable from an operative position, in which the support seat (500) is close to the proximal portion (120), to an inoperative position, in which the support seat (500) is close to the handle (200).
