To produce a medical punch that is of simple construction and can be thoroughly cleaned, it is proposed with the invention that the push/pull rod should be configured as a hollow shaft which can be inserted into the hollow shaft and extracted from the hollow shaft by the proximal end of the hollow shaft. | 12-03-2009 |
20100022957 | Medical Instrument With laterally Displaceable Seal - A medical instrument has a cannula, a seal disposed in said cannula, said seal has an opening for guiding a shaft of another instrument through said seal in a sealed manner. An expansion device serves for expanding said opening in said seal. Said expansion device has an expansion cone comprising a plurality of slats mounted pivotably on an annular body at a first end, a second end of said slots opposite to said first end being connected to said seal in an area of said opening. A flexible casing structure is provided accommodating said seal and said expansion device. | 01-28-2010 |
20100049145 | Medical Instrument With A Flexible Sealing System - A medical instrument has a cannula, a seal disposed in said cannula. An expansion device serves for expanding said opening in said seal for guiding shafts of other instruments of greater diameter in a sealed manner through the expanded opening. The expansion device has an expansion cone comprising a plurality of slats mounted pivotably on an annular body at a first end thereof, a second end of said slats, being connected to said seal in an area of said opening. The slats can either be connected at its first ends to said annular body via spherical heads engaged into corresponding openings in said annular body or said slats are connected at their ends via film hinges to said annular body. | 02-25-2010 |
20100057111 | Thread Catcher for Surgical Sewing Material - A thread catcher for surgical sewing material consisting of a handle, a hollow shaft positioned on the distal side of the handle, and a catching device that is mounted so that it can be slid lengthwise within the hollow shaft by means of a drive element and whose distal end, which can slide out of the distal end of the hollow shaft, is configured as a catcher loop. To create a thread catcher for surgical sewing material that is simple to operate and ensures rapid and secure grasping of the surgical sewing material, it is proposed with the invention that the catcher loop should consist of at least three segments that re distally connected with one another. | 03-04-2010 |
