| 20120143337 | FUSION IMPLANT FOR FACET JOINTS - The invention involves a fusion implant for a facet joint, comprising a bearing module ( | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120143262 | VARIABLE ANGLE BONE SCREW FIXATION ARRANGEMENT - The invention concerns a fixation apparatus comprising a holder ( | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120083898 | PROSTHESIS COMPONENT WITH ANTIMICROBIALLY COATED SLIDING SURFACE - In a prosthesis component of a joint endoprosthesis, the prosthesis component comprises a sliding surface that is designed to form a sliding joint with a counter sliding surface of another prosthesis component. The sliding surface may be formed by a sliding surface coating deposited on the body of the prosthesis component, wherein the sliding surface coating has an antimicrobial effect. The sliding surface coating is active against microorganisms in the area of the sliding joint. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20110272276 | IMPLANT WITH ANTIMICROBIAL COATING - In a coated implant that releases silver ions in the human body and thereby has an antimicrobial effect, a first surface component of the coating is formed by an anode material. A second surface component of the coating is formed by a cathode material. The cathode material is higher in the electrochemical voltage sequence than the anode material. The cathode and the anode are connected with one another in an electrically conducting manner. Together with the body electrolyte in the vicinity of the implant the anode and the cathode material form a plurality of local galvanic elements. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110160858 | ENDOPROSTHESIS HAVING A PLUG-IN CONNECTION AND IMPROVED ROTARY PROTECTION - The invention relates to an endoprosthesis, particularly for the at least partial replacement of a long bone, comprising a plug-in connection for connecting a shaft ( | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110152953 | SURGICAL GUIDE INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR WORKING THE ARTICULAR PROCESSES OF VERTEBRAL BODIES - A surgical guide instrument for use on the articular processes of vertebral bodies. At the distal end of the guide instrument, there are two plier heads, which are designed for a plier movement relative to each other. A guide rail is provided, which defines a guide axis for a reamer. The guide rail is pivotable about a first pivot axis, such that the guide axis, with the pivoting movement about the first pivot axis, spans a work sector, and such that the work sector intersects an imaginary connecting line between the plier heads. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110127700 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CERAMIC COMPONENT - The invention relates to a method for producing a ceramic component. With the method, a ceramic base material in powdered form and a mold having the shape of the ceramic component are provided. The ceramic base material is introduced into the mold. The ceramic component is presintered at a temperature between 880° C. and 980° C. and is then removed from the mold. The surface of the ceramic component is treated with a blasting material and the ceramic component is sintered at a temperature that is higher than the presintering temperature. With the method according to the invention, ceramic components having higher surface roughness can be produced. Due to the higher surface roughness it is easier to apply a firmly adhering coating to the ceramic component. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20090082849 | ENDOPROSTHESIS COMPONENT - The invention relates to an endoprosthesis component which is formed from a ceramic material and in which the ceramic material is partially coated with a titanium alloy. An uncoated surface portion of the endoprosthesis component is designed to interact as slide surface with another endoprosthesis component. A coated surface portion of the endoprosthesis component is designed to establish a connection to a bone. According to the invention, the part of the ceramic material forming an interface to the coating has a roughness R | 03-26-2009 |
