| 20120016484 | FINGER JOINT PROSTHESIS - In a finger joint prosthesis comprising a joint body | 01-19-2012 |
| 20110190900 | HIP-JOINT PROSTHESIS WITH A SHAFT TO BE INSERTED INTO THE FEMUR - A hip-joint prosthesis includes a shaft which is configured to be inserted into the femur and whose surface has an osteoinductive finish. This finish is provided exclusively in the metaphyseal portion of the shaft and laterally from the line delineating the maximum antero-posterior dimension of the shaft cross section. This ensures a better involvement of the metaphyseal spongiosa in the flow of forces, without compromising the ability to perform follow-up surgery on the prosthesis. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110046661 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT WHICH CAN BE DISASSEMBLED - The invention relates to a surgical instrument ( | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100274251 | Instruments for Carrying Out an Operating Procedure on a Joint - The invention concerns instruments for carrying out an operating procedure on a finger joint, in which the damaged joint | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100082112 | Finger Joint Prosthesis - A finger joint prosthesis is provided including a joint body having first and second joint elements, which are connected together pivotably about a rotary axis and from each of which extends an anchoring bar for fixing to a proximal and/or distal phalanx. The anchoring bars have eyes with openings for receiving fixing screws. To increase stability, it is proposed that the first joint element have an external hollow body with an insertion opening that the second joint element have an internal hollow body, and that the internal hollow body in the position of installation can be inserted by way of the insertion opening relatively movably into the external hollow body. A spindle can be inserted in the position of installation into the internal hollow body for rotationally movable connection to the external hollow body. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100030223 | MODULAR PATELLA INSTRUMENT - An instrument for implanting patellar prostheses in various sizes includes a series of milling calipers of various sizes, a retaining instrument with a receptacle for one of the milling calipers matching the sizes of the patellar prostheses and milling bodies in various sizes. The retaining instrument is configured like forceps with two members, the front end of one of the members being provided with a retention plate for engagement with a front face of a patellar prosthesis, and the front end of the other one of the members being provided with a holder for a milling gauge. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20090281550 | INSERTION INSTRUMENT FOR JOINT SOCKETS OF PROSTHESES - An insertion instrument comprising an elongate shaft, a suction head provided at the front end thereof for connection to a joint socket, a suction device with a piston guided in the shaft, a suction line opening out at the suction head, and an actuating element which is guided along a guiding track on the shaft. The guiding track can be helically shaped and have a locking arrangement, preferably in the form of a recess, for the actuating element in a suction position. Due to the helical shape of the guiding track, the actuating element executes a rotational and longitudinal movement during its displacement. The longitudinal movement produces a negative pressure in the suction line ensuring maintenance of the pressure, while the rotating movement causes rotation of the actuating element such that it reaches its locking position at the end of the guiding track, providing simplified handling of the instrument. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090082866 | ENDOPROSTHESIS COMPONENT - An endoprosthesis component and a method for producing an endoprosthesis component is disclosed. The endoprosthesis component comprises a body predefining the shape of the endoprosthesis component. On surface portions with which the endoprosthesis component in the implanted state is in contact with human tissue, the body is covered with an outer layer which comprises a nitride, an oxynitride or an oxide based on a refractory metal and which contains silver and/or copper. An intermediate layer is arranged between the outer layer and the body in such a way that parts of the intermediate layer are accessible from the outside. The endoprosthesis component enables generation of a long-term antimicrobial action with the outer layer and, in addition, action on the surrounding tissue from the intermediate layer. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20080312745 | ENDOPROSTHESIS WITH CONVEX CONFIGURATION - The invention relates to an endoprosthesis for replacement of a joint, in which slide surfaces that have different contours and correspondingly define movement planes for bearing are formed by an intermediate part. According to the invention, the intermediate part has a projection, preferably a convex projection, on at least one side face, in order to avoid fibrosis. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080221576 | Insertion Instrument for an Endoprosthesis Comprising a Prosthesis Shaft Which is to be Inserted into a Medullary Cavity - The invention relates to an insertion instrument for an endoprosthesis ( | 09-11-2008 |
