Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Die Oberfläche der mit Durchtrittsbohrungen (6) versehenen Stützlappen (5) ist von Sollbiegelinien (7) durchzogen. Diese ermöglichen dem Operateur die Lappen (5) während der Operation in vorgegebenen Richtungen entlang dieser Linien (7) zu biegen. Damit wird verhindert, dass die Festigkeit der Lappen (7), beispielsweise durch unkontrollierte Biegungen, die durch eine oder mehrere Bohrungen (6) verlaufen, unzulässig erniedrigt wird. The surface of the support tabs (5) provided with through holes (6) is traversed by predetermined bending lines (7). These enable the surgeon to bend the flaps (5) along these lines (7) in predetermined directions during the operation. This prevents the strength of the tabs (7) from being inadmissibly reduced, for example by uncontrolled bends that run through one or more bores (6).
