The "martin-arm"-System meets the demand for optimal fixation of outer edges of the wound cavity and exact positioning of organs in a three dimensional manner at abdominal operations. The four joints of each arm individually connected to the Op-table make this possible. They are fixed in position by a central joint with a lever which can be tightened. An adequate assortment of exchangeable retractors, specula and spatulas offers the possibility of a clear view of the operation. All instruments are ready for use even without the "martin-Arm". This system is especially suitable for emergency surgery, for small gynaecology wards or during staff shortages e.g. at night. The operation setting, according to requirements, remains in position for the duration of the whole operation. In the case of long operations, fatigue symptoms of the assistant are no longer present with this instrumentation.
“马丁臂”系统满足了腹部手术中对伤口腔外缘进行最佳固定以及以三维方式精确放置器官的需求。每条臂的四个关节分别与手术台相连，从而实现这一点。它们通过带有可拧紧杠杆的中央关节固定在相应位置。有多种可更换的牵开器、窥器和刮匙，能提供清晰的手术视野。即使没有“马丁臂”，所有器械也随时可用。该系统特别适用于急诊手术、小型妇科病房或人员短缺的情况，比如夜间。根据需要，手术装置在整个手术过程中都保持在相应位置。对于长时间手术，使用这种器械时助手不再会出现疲劳症状。
