主权项

1. A modular retraction system, comprising:
at least two first functional elements, each first functional element comprising:
a flexible tape-shaped element; anda flexible hook-shaped retractor element disposed on a first end of the flexible tape-shaped element, wherein the flexible hook-shaped retractor element is embodied to be flexible such that, during a retraction, the flexible hook-shaped element nestles against tissue to be retracted in an operation field, and wherein the flexible hook-shaped retractor element is integral with the flexible tape-shaped element;wherein at least one of the at least two first functional elements further comprises a closing element disposed on a second end of the flexible tape-shaped element opposite the first end; and at least one second functional element comprising a lock element, wherein the closing element is configured to be inserted into the lock element to selectively secure the at least one of the at least two first functional elements to the at least one second functional element in a desired relative position, and wherein the at least one second functional element is free of a hook-shaped retractor element.
