| 20110054539 | BONE ANCHOR, ORTHOPAEDIC DEVICE AND ORTHOPAEDIC SYSTEM - A bone anchor, orthopaedic device and orthopaedic system are described. A bone anchor for use in an orthopaedic procedure which comprises a bone fixation portion provided with a plurality of fixation openings, the fixation openings each being adapted to receive a fixation device for fixing the bone fixation portion to a bone of a patient, and a device attachment portion provided with a first attachment opening and a second attachment opening, the first attachment opening and the second attachment opening being connected to each other by a solid stabilizing portion and being adapted to receive an attachment device for attaching the device attachment portion to an orthopaedic device. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110019884 | Stereotactic Computer Assisted Surgery Based On Three-Dimensional Visualization - A computer assisted surgical system that includes an apparatus ( | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110015640 | SYRINGE - A stand for use with a syringe is structured to engage a portion of the syringe in order to maintain the syringe in an upright position. The stand may include an aperture structured to engage the nozzle or the plunger of the syringe. Another embodiment of the stand may include a protrusion structured to engage the proximal end of the syringe, or a clip structured to engage a handle of the syringe. The stand may include a package portion having compartments for holding various components, such as components of a bone cement preparation kit. The proximal and distal portions of the barrel of the syringe may be separable to provide an opening into the barrel through which an injectable material may be inserted. The plunger of the syringe may also include a plunger rod removably affixed to the plunger tip. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20100318093 | SURGICAL POWER TOOL AND ACTUATION ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A surgical power tool has an actuation assembly for the actuation-force-dependent control of the tool. The actuation assembly comprises a force sensor configured to sense the actuation force and a carrier component for the force sensor which is arranged upstream of the force sensor in a direction of force application and is coupled thereto in a force-transmitting manner. A mechanical damping member is arranged upstream of the carrier component in the direction of force application. The damping member protects the carrier component and the force sensor, for example, from impacts and shocks and the accompanying plastic deformations. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100305619 | IMPLANT FOR USE FOR ADJACENTLY ARRANGED BONE PLATES - An implant for use for adjacently arranged bone plates is described, having a first bearing part, a second bearing part and a coupling element for tension-proof coupling of the first bearing part to the second bearing part. The bearing parts are curved concavely and comprise a plurality of ribs, which extend radially outwards from a central portion of the respective bearing part. The upper bearing part comprises a main body and an insert connected thereto by means of at least one connecting element. The connecting element is supported against the coupling element with regard to movement into a release position. The upper bearing part additionally has a deflectable fixing element, which is supported against the upper bearing part in the event of movement of the upper bearing part away from the lower bearing part. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100204685 | Method for operating a surgical power tool - A surgical power tool has an actuation assembly which comprises a force sensor and a switch. The force sensor is provided to determine an actuation force produced by the user, and the switch is transferred by the actuation force from a first switching state to a second switching state. A combined evaluation of the force sensor signal and of the switching state enables, for example, a plausibility check for increasing the operational reliability of the power tool. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100106197 | BONE PLATE FOR USE IN A SURGICAL PROCEDURE - A bone plate for use in a surgical procedure, in particular an osteotomy comprises a fixation portion provided with at least one opening adapted to receive a fastening device for fastening the fixation portion to a bone of a patient. A guiding portion of the bone plate having a guiding edge for guiding a bone cutting instrument during the surgical procedure, wherein the guiding portion is removably connected to the fixation portion, and wherein at least one of the fixation portion and the guiding portion has a size and shape which are customized based on anatomic data of the patient. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20090209851 | Stereotactic computer assisted surgery method and system - A computer assisted surgical system that includes an apparatus for imaging a region of interest of a portion of an anatomy of a subject; a memory containing executable instructions; and a processor programmed using the instructions to receive two or more two-dimensional images of the region of interest taken at different angles from the apparatus and process the two or more two-dimensional images to produce three dimensional information associated with the region of interest. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090157086 | Bone plate instrument and method - A drill guide for a bone plate which has holes therethrough for receiving bone screws. The drill guide includes a guide block having drill guide bores alignable with at least two bone screw receiving holes in the bone plate. A first locking element in inserted through a guide block drill guide bore. The locking element has a tip for engaging a bone screw receiving holes in the bone plate, the tip being selectively expandable to engage and disengage from the bone plate hole. A second locking element is mounted on the guide block and is engageable with a bone plate hole. The second locking element also has a tip for resiliently engaging walls of the bone plate hole wherein the tip of the first and second locking elements has a split portion. The first and second locking elements include an axially moveable rod for expanding the split tip portion to engage the plate | 06-18-2009 |
