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. The invention further relates to a kit for treating an open soft tissue defect, in particular of an opened abdominal wall ( 2 ) or of an open soft tissue defect on the back, having at least one sponge ( 9, 15, 28 ) for filling out an opening ( 7 ) of a soft tissue defect, in particular in the abdominal wall or of en open soft tissue defect on the back, and having such a device ( 11 ) for reducing the retraction of the edges ( 4.1 ) of an opened fascia ( 4 ).

Claim (Index 22):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises various tensile elements that can be connected to the fascia, wherein the force measurement device is designed such that the sum of the tensile forces exerted by the various tensile elements can be measured.
