Abstract:
A device retracts abdominal and/or inguinal pannus away from the inguinal region of a patient. The device includes a garment generally in the shape of a girdle or athletic shorts. The device includes a front side and a back side, and a lower portion including a pair of legs that extend from the upper portion, the garment further including first and second apertures positioned on the front side of the garment such that the first and second apertures expose the right and left inguinal regions of a patient, respectively, when the patient wears the garment. The device may be useful for endovascular procedures requiring access to the femoral arteries and femoral veins of a patient, or during other procedures that require access to the inguinal region of a patient.
