Abstract
A device for the retraction of soft tissue in a patient undergoing arthroscopic surgery, comprising a pulling element extending in its own main direction between a first end and a second end, the latter being fitted with a hooking body configured to pass through the soft tissue of a patient and engage in the soft tissue following the traction of the pulling element towards the first end. The device further comprises a presser body suitable to press on the skin of the patient and connectable to the pulling element in at least one operating position placed at a fixed distance from the second end, wherein the fixed distance is such as to define a housing for the layers of soft tissue of the patient engaged by the hooking body.
