Abstract
The invention comprises a flexible tightening device, especially for medical purposes, with one of several jointed element pivotable against one another existing arm, in which the arm can be locked into the desired position of the locking element by means of a tightening element. In order to create a simply constructed tightening device, which is also easy to clean, which can be adjusted on many sides and is lockable, the invention is suggested, in which each jointed element demonstrates a ball joint at one end and at the opposite end a socket joint to receive the ball joint and that each jointed element is constructed in the length direction in two parts, whereby the individual length pieces are adjustable against one another for locking purposes.
