Traction system for operating table, has dynamometer to measure traction force, and connected to control device that modifies traction force until attaining set point relative to desired limb extension value

摘要

The system has a movable support (3) to receive a limb to be operated. Extension units (4) are fixed at an end of the limb, to apply traction force on a proximal part of the limb. A dynamometer (5) measures the force, and is connected to a control device (6). The device (6) modifies the force until attaining a set point relative to desired limb extension value. An independent claim is also included for an operating table comprising a traction system.
