DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE RETRACTION OF THE EDGES AND/OR FOR STRETCHING THE EDGES OF AN OPENED FASCIA OF A PATIENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for reducing the retraction of the edges and/or for stretching the edges of an opened fascia of a patient having an open soft tissue defect, wherein the device (10) has a holding element (11) which can be fixed at a first distance from the patient (1), and an attachment element (12) with a plurality of attachment points (13) which are designed for the attachment of tensioning means (14) which can be connected to an edge of the fascia (4), wherein the attachment element (12) is connected to the holding element (11) in such a way that it is positioned at a second distance from the patient (1) which is shorter than the first distance, wherein the attachment element (12) is connected to the holding element (11) via precisely one tensile force transmission element (15), wherein the holding element (11) is fixed relative to a patient receiving device (20, 30, 40) which has a lying surface (21, 31, 41) for the patient (1).
