Abstract

Abstract Translated from Norwegian Operasjonsplattform som omfatter et første og andre blad som er tilkoblet et svingeelement som kan drive bladene sideveis fra og mot hverandre, og en ribbenspute koblet til et blad. Et øvre blad er koblet til svingeelementet slik at bladet stiger når bladene svinges fra hverandre. Alternativt kan et element for vertikal forskyvning være innkoblet mellom et blad og svingeelementet for vertikal forskyvning av det øvre bladet, for derved å øke arbeidsrommet til en kirurg og dennes visuelle område, ved kirurgi på en indre brystarterie. En vev-tilbakeu-ekker er forbundet med bladene for å trekke det myke vevet rundt et innsnitt bort fra kirurgens arbeidsområde. Operational platform comprising a first and second blades connected to a pivot element which can drive the blades laterally from and to one another, and a rib cushion connected to a blade. An upper blade is connected to the pivot member so that the blade rises as the blades are pivoted apart. Alternatively, a vertical displacement element may be coupled between a blade and the upper blade vertical displacement element, thereby increasing the working space of a surgeon and his visual area, by surgery on an internal breast artery. A tissue back spider is connected to the blades to pull the soft tissue around an incision away from the surgeon's work area.
