DEVICE FOR MEASURING ANGLE BETWEEN PLANE ANATOMICAL FORMATIONS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device can used in experimental surgery; topographical anatomy for measuring mutual spatial position of different plane anatomical formations due to measurement of angular values as between one to another and to reference planes. Device for measuring angle between plane anatomical formations has axis and rods. Axis is tightly mounted in clutches; there are three parallel rods in clutches as well. Rods are connected by plates mounted at ends of rods. Plates are disposed in plane where all three rods are disposed. Rods are mounted for simultaneous parallel shift in clutches and for fixation in them. Two additional clutches are disposed on axis between two first clutches for rotation and fixation in it. Those clutches are capable of placement, simultaneous shift and fixation of two other parallel rods, tightly connected in additional clutches. Rods are tightly connected by plates mounted at ends of plates; plates are mounted in the same plane. Any second of two last rods is placed onto axis between end and central of first three rods. Protractor is disposed onto clutch of central rod; open angle of protractor equals to 180 degrees; protractor is disposed along central rod. Device allows to measure angles between plane anatomical formations, between those formation and reference planes.

EFFECT: simplicity at use; compactness; easy cleaning of working surfaces.
