English term

lap

English to German Medical Medical: Instruments
Aus einem amerikanischen Operationsbericht:

Die Bedeutung von "lap" ist mir unklar. Der Begriff taucht 2x auf:

The bowel was retracted using moist lap and ribbon retractors.

Sponge, lap, needle and instrument counts correct: Yes.

Im ersten Satz scheint "moist lap" keinen grammatikalischen Bezug zu "ribbon retractors" (= malleable retractors, plastisch verformbare Retraktoren) zu haben. Es scheint auch keine Abkürzung für ein Laparoskopie-Instrument zu sein, da Instrumente im 2. Satz separat genannt werden. Am ehesten vermute ich, das "lap" in Richtung Tupfer oder irgendein anderes Gewebematerial zu gehen, kann aber keine Fundstelle im Internet finden.

Laparotomiekompresse(n)

Kompressen mit röntgendichtem Streifen (falls eben doch mal eine vermisst wird ;-)
Unter "laparotomy pad" gibt es in Google entsprechende Bilder.

Die Frage wurde übrigens in einem anderen Forum schon mal diskutiert: http://forum.mtstars.com/word-Sponge-lap-needle-instrument-c...

Und: Der "lap retractor" ist keine Kompresse, sondern ein Gerät (ich weiß aber nicht, wie es auf Deutsch heißt).

Lap Pak

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3602726/
Lap Pak (Seguro Surgical, Columbia, MD) is a disposable radio-opaque device that is made of silicone and retracts the bowels in a cephalad orientation without the need for towels or sponges (Figure 1). The device is malleable and has an inverted U cutout that accommodates the root of the mesentery and the sigmoid colon. The inert and atraumatic surfaces of Lap Pak are in direct contact with the intestinal contents. The barrier-like device is secured in place using retractor blades. Initial experience suggests that Lap Pak is easiest to use with a table-mounted Bookwalter Retractor™ (Symmetry Surgical, Nashville, TN) or a table-mounted Bookler Retractor™ (Mediflex Surgical Products, Islip, NY). With experience, Lap Pak also has been successfully used with a Balfour retractor. Another potential advantage of Lap Pak is that it minimizes temperature exchange between the intestinal cavity and ambient environment of the operating room, which helps to maintain the intestinal cavity at near normal body temperature.
