20140025077 | CLAMP FOR TEMPORARY OR DEFINITIVE EXTERNAL ORTHOPAEDIC FIXATION, AND EXTERNAL FIXATION SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID CLAMP - A clamp applicable to both temporary and definitive orthopaedic external fixation systems comprising a first coupling element having a pair of opposite jaws defining one or more seats to house a first component of the orthopaedic external fixation system. A second coupling element comprises a pair of opposite jaws defining one or more seats to house a second component of the orthopaedic external fixation system. An interconnection pin passes through and connects the first and second coupling elements along an axis of rotation. A fastening means is arranged to bring the clamp from a slack configuration. The first and second coupling elements are relatively rotatable along the axis of rotation to a locked configuration, and are relatively rotatable with each other. These fastening means include manually operable temporary fastening means to temporarily lock the clamp, and definitive fastening means operable with a fastening tool, to definitively lock the clamp. | 01-23-2014 |
20120209266 | EXTERNAL ORTHOPAEDIC FIXATOR FOR THE ELBOW JOINT - An external orthopaedic fixator for elbow joints comprising: proximal anchoring means intended to be integrally associated to a proximal bone of a patient's upper limb; distal anchoring means intended to be integrally associated to a distal bone of a patient's upper limb; an articulator hinging together said proximal and distal anchoring means along a hinging axis, intended to be positioned in correspondence with an elbow joint connecting said proximal and distal bones; said articulator comprising a radiotransparent centering window intended to frame the elbow joint when positioning the external orthopaedic fixator, said hinging axis passing through said centering window. | 08-16-2012 |
20120209264 | CLAMP FOR TEMPORARY OR DEFINITIVE EXTERNAL ORTHOPAEDIC FIXATION, AND EXTERNAL FIXATION SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID CLAMP - A clamp applicable to both temporary and definitive orthopaedic external fixation systems comprising a first coupling element having a pair of opposite jaws defining one or more seats to house a first component of the orthopaedic external fixation system. A second coupling element comprises a pair of opposite jaws defining one or more seats to house a second component of the orthopaedic external fixation system. An interconnection pin passes through and connects the first and second coupling elements along an axis of rotation. A fastening means is arranged to bring the clamp from a slack configuration. The first and second coupling elements are relatively rotatable along the axis of rotation to a locked configuration, and are relatively rotatable with each other. These fastening means include manually operable temporary fastening means to temporarily lock the clamp, and definitive fastening means operable with a fastening tool, to definitively lock the clamp. | 08-16-2012 |
20120172876 | INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL WITH SHAPE MEMORY ELEMENTS - An intramedullary nail for a fractured elongated bone, comprising a cannulated rod having proximal and distal ends; an outside tubular sleeve for coaxially hosting and guiding the rod; and shape memory elements hosted in corresponding seats of the rod. Each shape memory element can be retractably housed in its respective seat in a first configuration, allowing insertion of the nail into the bone, and can project from a sleeve opening in another configuration. Proximal and distal pairs of the elements are provided at the proximal and distal rod ends. The proximal element pair lie on a same plane and are kept in their seats by a proximal cover. The distal element pair lie on an offset plane to the plane of the proximal element pair and are kept in their seats by a distal cover. This removes the need for bone screws to stabilize the nail inside the medullary canal. | 07-05-2012 |
20120172875 | INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL WITH SHAPE MEMORY ELEMENTS FOR ELONGATED BONES - An intramedullary nail for a fractured elongated bone, comprising a cannulated rod having proximal and distal ends; an outside tubular sleeve for coaxially hosting and guiding the rod; and at least a pair of shape memory elements hosted in corresponding seats at the distal end of the rod. Each shape memory element can be retractably housed in its seat in a first configuration, allowing insertion of the nail into the bone, and can project from a sleeve opening in another configuration. Pairs of transversal holes are provided in proximal portions of the rod and the sleeve. The distal pair of shape memory elements lie on an offset plane to the plane of the proximal holes and are kept in their corresponding seats by a distal cover fixed to the rod. This improves the stability of the nail in the medullary canal. | 07-05-2012 |
