DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE RETRACTION OF A FASCIA OR OF A SOFT-TISSUE MANTLE IN AN OPEN SOFT-TISSUE DEFECT

摘要

The invention relates to a device for reducing the retraction of the edges (4.1) of an open fascia (4) of a patient (1) with an open soft tissue defect, in particular with an open abdominal wall (2) or an open soft tissue defect on the back, via which a tensile force ( A, B) with a directed away from the body of the patient (1) force component (A _{1 , B 1 ) on the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) can be applied in that the device (11) keeps the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) in tension and spaced apart from each other and that there remains an open soft tissue defect, in particular an open abdominal wall (2) or an open soft tissue defect on the back, the device comprising: - at least one traction element (12) which can be connected to the fascia (4) and - a suspension (14) which can be arranged outside the body of the patient (1) in front of the soft tissue defect, to which the at least one traction element (12) can be attached; Suspension ( 14) can be connected to a patient-independent holder, in particular a bed or a couch or a holder which is supported on the floor, the apparatus having a force-measuring device for measuring the tensile force applied to the fascia by the at least one pulling member (12).}
