ZENTRALE PLATTFORM ZUR HALTERUNG VON RETRAKTORKLINGEN UND DERGLEICHEN WÄHREND EINER CHIRURGISCHEN BEHANDLUNG

摘要

A central platform allows a hydra or other surgical device to be attached to a horizontal bar suspended over a patient during surgery. The platform is made of stainless steel and has integrally formed clamping and attaching portions. The clamping portion has a cylindrical bore for receiving the bar and a slot extending from the cylindrical bore. At least one thin portion adjacent the cylindrical bore allows the clamping portion to have enough flexibility for clamping. A key passes through a threaded bore and is tightened to clamp the clamping portion onto the bar. The attaching portion has a post for attaching the hydra or other device. The post has positioning projections to hold the hydra in a desired position. The post also has a threaded portion, so that the hydra can be held on with a wing nut.
