Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A surgical support is provided for firmly holding the hand and fingers during surgery performed thereon. The support has the shape of an open hand with spread fingers, and detachable elastic rings are provided to fit over the support fingers to hold the fingers on them when the hand is placed on the support.

Description

The invention relates to a surgical support for firmly holding the hand and fingers durLng surgery per~ormed thereon.
In this kind o~ surgery it is known to retain the hand on a lead support while the thumb, the index finger and the little finger are held by straps After the straps have been used several times they break ofE easily. Moreover, because of the weight of the lead support it is not possible, during surgery, to move said support with the hand fixed thereon.
It is the aim of the invention to design a support of the kind mentioned at the outset by means of which the fingers can be easily held and which permits the support to be moved ~-along with the hand even during surgery and which also has a long useful life.
Accordingly, the invention provides a surgical support for firmly holding the hand and fingers during surgery performed thereon and having the shape of an open hand with spread fingers, and provided with detachable elastic rings adapted to be slipped over the support fingers for holding the fingers on them when the hand is placed on the support.
The advantage of a support according to the invention, as compared with the prior art, lies in that any part of the hand and of the fingers is readily accessible to the surgeon.
On placing the hand on the support and slipping the elastic rings simultaneously over the support fingers and the fingers of the hand the support can be moved simultaneously with the hand.
This permits great variability and mobility during an operation.
-- In a further development of the invention the support can consist of polypropylene and the detachable elastic rings ~- can be made of polyvinyl chloride. The support can be sterilized by means of known methods. The material is resistant particularly to iodine and chrominum halides. Moreover the material of the support can be subjected to high thermal and mechanical loads.

1~8~3~6 ; The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure i shows a plan view of a surgical support according to the invention with three elastic rings slipped over the support fingers, Figure 2 is a plan view of Figure 1 from above in order to show the width of the support, and Figure 3 shows an elastic ring.
The surgical support for firmly holding the hand and fingers during surgery performed thereon comprises a support 1 having the shape of an open hand with spread fingers. Detach-able and elastic rings 3,4 are slipped over said support fingers.
The support is normally made oE polypropylene and the rings of polyvinyl chloride. The surgical support is resistant - particularly to iodine and chrominum halides and can be subjected to high thermal and mechanical loads. Moreover, it can be sterilized by means of known methods.
In order to perform surgery on a hand or fingers, the hand to be operated on is placed on the support and the elastic rings are slipped simultaneously over the support fingers 2 and over the fingers of the hand. The rings then fix the hand immovably to the support.
