Last question - in relation to VAC Therapy for deep sternal wound infection treatment.
Houd rekening met het feit dat het foam onder negatieve druk in volume afneemt.
Daarom moet het foam tussen de sternumbladen ongeveer anderhalf keer groter zijn dan de ruimte die aanwezig is tussen de beide sternumhelften.
Thanks!

sternum's surface layers of compact bone
"Daarom moet het foam * tussen de sternumbladen * ongeveer anderhalf keer groter zijn * dan de ruimte die aanwezig is tussen de beide sternumhelften *
... between the sternum's anterior and posterior surface layers of compact bone .... than the available space between these layers
as I understand it, 'sternumbladen' is used in the same sense as 'sternumhelften'
it seems this foam is introduced into the interior of the sternum, where the bone marrow normally would be, between the two layers of compact bone: de sternumbladen / sternumhelften

left half of sternum and right half of the sternum
alternatively, if the sternum was cut longitudinally into halves and there was some space between these two halves and this space was to be filled with foam, they would actually mean the left and the right half of the sternum, which would also be 'bladen', since the sternum is a flattened bone.
In this case you could just use left half of sternum and right half of the sternum
or right and left sternal halves
it seems to me a bit odd and unnecessary to say 'flattened right / left sternal half, or something
Wire is effective at approximating sternal halves, but does not provide rigid fixation. The use of plates is one method that provides the rigid fixation needed to support healing following approximation.

the negative pressure is produced by inhalation
please let me know what the exact situation is

En ik begreep ergens wel dat die opmerking in plaats van als een compliment (het was meer een impuls van verbazing) ook als geringschattend kan worden uitgelegd, zo van 'hoe zouden zij daartoe in staat zijn'?
Toch heb ik het opgemerkt.
Enerzijds omdat het lijkt of het je moedertaal is, anderzijds misschien omdat ik van mezelf denk dat ik niet zo vloeiend Engels kan spreken als mensen van wie het de moedertaal is.
Het was in ieder geval oprechte verwondering, hoe onbeholpen die dan misschien ook is overgekomen. :-)
Zoals jij ook aangaf, worden de twee helften van de sternum bedoelt. Ik besloot om left half of sternum and right half of the sternum te gebruiken. Kun jij dit aan je antwoord toevoegen, dan zal ik het vandaag afsluiten. Nogmaals, ik waardeer echt de moeite die je gedaan hebt.
Many thanks in advance.
