Vorrichtung zum Festhalten von rohrförmigen Körpergängen während Chirurgie

摘要

A holding device (10) for use during surgical procedures involving tubular body ducts (24) includes a shank portion (14) and a terminal portion (16). The terminal portion (16) has a bulbous section (20) at the terminus of the rod (12). The outer surface of the terminal portion (16) is free of discontinuities, and the bulbous section (20) has a cross-sectional dimension slightly less than the diameter of the tubular body duct (24). The terminal portion (16) can be received within the body duct (24) so that the bulbous section (20) will resist withdrawal when the body duct (24) is tied to the terminal portion (16).
