  • Patent number: 11191534
    Abstract: A device for reducing retraction of edges of an opened fascia of a patient having an open soft-tissue defect. The device includes a holding element and an attachment element. The holding element is configured to be fixed with respect to the patient at a first distance from the patient. The attachment element has a plurality of attachment points configured for attaching tensioning means, which is configured to be connected to an edge of the fascia. The attachment element being connected to the holding element so as to be arranged at a second distance from the patient, which is less than the first distance. The attachment element is connected to the holding element via exactly one tensile force transmission element.

  • Patent number: 10603023
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for reducing the retraction of the edges (4.1) of an opened fascia (4) of a patient (1) having an open soft tissue defect, in particular having an open abdominal wall (2) or an open soft tissue defect on the back, via which a tensile force (A, B) can be applied to the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) by a force component (A1, B1) directed away from the body of the patient (1), such that the device (11) holds the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) under tension and spaced apart from each other and that furthermore there is an open soft tissue defect, in particular an opened abdominal wall (2), or an open soft tissue defect on the back.

  • Publication number: 20190150907
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for reducing the retraction of the margins of an opened fascia of a patient having an open soft-tissue defect, wherein the device (10) has a holding element (11) which, at a first distance from the patient (1), can be fixed with respect to the patient (1), and an attachment element (12) with a multiplicity of attachment points (13) which are configured for the attachment of tensioning means (14) which are connectable to a margin of the fascia (4), wherein the attachment element (12) is connected to the holding element (11) in such a way that it is arranged at a second distance from the patient (1) which is shorter than the first distance, wherein the attachment element (12) is connected to the holding element (11) via precisely one tensile force transmission element (15).

  • Publication number: 20180338750
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for reducing the retraction of the edges (4.1) of an opened fascia (4) of a patient (1) having an open soft tissue defect, in particular having an open abdominal wall (2) or an open soft tissue defect on the back, via which a tensile force (A, B) can be applied to the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) by a force component (A1, B1) directed away from the body of the patient (1), such that the device (11) holds the edges (4.1) of the fascia (4) under tension and spaced apart from each other and that furthermore there is an open soft tissue defect, in particular an opened abdominal wall (2), or an open soft tissue defect on the back.
