ABSTRACT:
A device intended to be used for opening of the chest during heart operations or other surgical procedures, said device comprising a pair of substantially opposed hook - provided (3,4) plates (1,2) intended to grip about opposite incision edges of the operations incision, said hook - provided plates (1,2) are interconnected by a frame structure (6) or the like, which is provided with first adjusting members (7) for adjusting the relative distance between the hook - provided plates (1,2). At least one hook - provided plate, (1) is via a hinge (8), arranged substantially parallel with the gripping direction of the respective hook - provided plate connected to a member (9) provided with an adjusting screw (10), which is arranged to act upon said hook - provided plate (1) to tilt this about the hinge (8) and lift the respective incision edge away from the underlying body tissues. Thus an asymmetric opening of the chest is achieved.
