摘要

The surgical contractor for holding together two sections (27, 28) of bone, especially of the sternum, has a plate (24) against which one section fits. This is pushed by a spring so that it moves along a transverse rod (15) and holds the bone section against the other section, which fits against a stationary plate (25).
