DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE RETRACTION OF A FASCIA OR 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 opened fascia (4) of a patient (1) having an open soft tissue defect, in particular having an open abdominal wall (2) or an open soft tissue defect on the back, via which a tensile force (A, B) can be applied to the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) by a force component (A1, B1) directed away from the body of the patient (1), such that the device (11) holds the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) under tension and spaced apart from each other and that furthermore there is an open soft tissue defect, in particular an opened abdominal wall (2), or an open soft tissue defect on the back. The invention further relates to a kit for treating an open soft tissue defect, in particular of an opened abdominal wall (2) or of an open soft tissue defect on the back, having at least one sponge (9, 15, 28) for filling out an opening (7) of a soft tissue defect, in particular in the abdominal wall or of an open soft tissue defect on the back, and having such a device (11) for reducing the retraction of the edges (4.1) of an opened fascia (4).

主权项

1. An apparatus for reducing a retraction of edges of an open fascia of a patient with an open soft tissue defect as an open abdominal wall or an open soft tissue defect on a back, by way of which apparatus a tensile force with a force component directed away from a body of the patient is exerted on the edges of the fascia such that the apparatus holds the edges of the fascia under tension and spaced apart from one another and such that the open soft tissue defect as the open abdominal wall or the open soft tissue defect on the back remains present.
