Considering the ergonomics of an efficient exposure of the retrosternal
area, the design of the internal mammary artery dissection retractor
resulted in an alternative compact and easy adjustable construction. A
single post fixation enables a quick setup and takedown over the sterile
drapes in one piece. So, the usual numerous nuts and knobs and different
assembly parts are superfluous.
