20130245368 | SURGICAL POWER TOOL - A surgical power tool has a head portion having a tool with a tool axis, a shaft which is connected to the head portion for guiding the head portion to the surgical site and a handle portion for exerting pressure to the head portion along the tool axis. The shaft has a longitudinal axis that is angled with respect to the tool axis. A second handle is coupled to the shaft intermediate the head portion and a gripping portion of the shaft for applying a force along the tool axis. | 09-19-2013 |
20130304074 | SURGICAL DEVICE FOR BENDING AN IMPLANT AND IMPLANT SYSTEM COMPRISING THE DEVICE - A surgical device for bending an implant is described. The device comprises first and second mould members adapted to at least partially receive the implant between them, wherein the mould members are shaped in three dimensions in accordance with one or more cranio-facial features. The device further comprises an actuation mechanism adapted to convert a manually exerted force into an actuation force acting on at least one of the mould members to bend the implant received between the mould members. | 11-14-2013 |

20140163576 | SURGICAL DISTANCE ADJUSTING ASSEMBLY FOR A BONE DISTRACTOR - A surgical distance adjusting assembly for a distractor has a base having a first connecting portion configured to hold a first bone attachment member and a carrier having a second connecting portion configured to hold a second bone attachment member. The base and the carrier are movable relative to each other, wherein the first and second connecting portions provide a releasable mechanical coupling to the first and second bone attachment members. The releasable mechanical coupling comprises a hook member at one or both of the first and second connecting portions and configured to engage the respective bone attachment member. Alternatively, the releasable mechanical coupling comprises an opening at one or both of the first and second connecting portions. The opening has a thread for a fixation screw configured to releasable couple the respective bone attachment member to the respective connecting portion. | 06-12-2014 |
20140249585 | SURGICAL RETAINING INSTRUMENT FOR BONE PLATES - The invention relates to a surgical retaining instrument for bone plates. The retaining instrument comprises a carrying element and two plate retaining jaws arranged on the carrying element. The mutual distance of the plate retaining jaws can be changed in order to pick up or release a bone plate. Furthermore, an actuating device is provided, which has two arms, which can be moved relative to each other and which are designed to change the mutual distance of the plate retaining jaws. The carrying element is rotatably mounted relative to the arms. | 09-04-2014 |
20140364860 | BENDING INSTRUMENT FOR A SURGICAL ELEMENT - A bending instrument for a surgical element has two branches or arms which are pivotable relative to one another. A bending punch and two counter members are provided. The counter members interact with the bending punch to deform the surgical element. An actuator for the bending punch is adapted to convert an actuating movement of the branches or arms into a linear movement of the bending punch in a direction towards a region between the two counter members in order to bend the surgical element therebetween. First and second bending structures are provided for co-operatively bending the surgical element, wherein the bending instrument is configured to convert an actuating movement of the branches into a mating movement of the first and second bending structures towards one another. | 12-11-2014 |
20150018830 | FIXATION ASSEMBLY WITH MULTIPLE SECTIONS FOR SECURING PARTS OF A STERNUM - A fixation assembly for securing parts of a sternum has a first section having a first attachment structure for securing the first section to a first sternum part. The fixation assembly includes a second section having a second attachment structure for securing the second section to a second sternum part. A mating arrangement is provided defining a mating direction and a predetermined relative position between the first and second sections in a plane perpendicular to the mating direction. At least one holding member is provided for detachably holding the first and second sections in an abutting relationship in the predetermined relative position. This may be achieved in one variant by simultaneous engagement of the first and second sections substantially along the mating direction. | 01-15-2015 |
20160038200 | SURGICAL FORCEPS SYSTEM - A surgical instrument for fixing bone fragments is provided. The surgical instrument comprises a positioning member with two pad holding portions, two pad members each having a bone contacting surface and each configured to be releasably held at one of the pad holding portions of the positioning member so that the bone contacting surfaces of the two pad members face each other, and two guiding channels configured to receive a flexible elongated member, each guiding channel being formed in a region between the bone contacting surface of one of the pad members and the associated pad holding portion. | 02-11-2016 |
