PCT No. PCT/DE96/00608 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 12, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 12, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 29, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/32073 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 17, 1996To stimulate the formation of new tissue in tissue defects, in addition to a constant distraction force, a periodically changing tractive force superimposed thereon is applied to the tissue regions adjacent to the tissue defect. To this end, a traction cable (12) holds the distraction means (10) arranged at the wound and is kept under traction at the other end. The traction cable (12) is deflected transversely by an eccentric (18) to generate the periodic tractive force.
