Medical fixation device for connecting surgical instruments to an operating table

A medical fixation device (001, 1001) for connecting one or more surgical instruments (600) such as retractor devices (500) to an operating table (502) in the space around the operating table (503), the medical fixation device comprising:

• two elongate elements, a first elongate element (100, 1100) and a second elongate element (200, 1200),
• a connection part (400, 1400) for connecting the first elongate element (100, 1100) to the second elongate element (200, 1200),
• a means (406, 1450) for secure fixation of the first elongate element (100, 1100) in at least one fixed angular position relative to the second elongate element (200, 1200),
• a base element (300, 1300) connected to the second elongate element (200, 1200) and configured to be connected to the operating table (502),
• a means (305, 1305) for secure fixation of the second elongate element (200, 1200) to the base element (300, 1300), and
• a means (303, 1303) for secure fixation of the base element (300, 1300) to the operating table (502),
• wherein the first elongate element (100, 1100) is configured to be releasably connected to one or more, preferably two or more, more preferably three or more, surgical instruments (600),
• wherein the connection part (400, 1400) is configured to allow rotatable connection of the first elongate element (100, 1100) relative to the second elongate element (200, 1200) when the means (406, 1450) for the secure fixation is not connected, and wherein the connection part (400, 1400) is configured to enable secure fixation of the first elongate element (100, 1100) in at least one fixed angular position relative to the second elongate element (200, 1200) when the means (406, 1450) for the secure fixation is connected.
