title: A compact single post internal mammary artery dissection retractor.
abstract: 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.
