20090222050 | FIXATION SYSTEM FOR BONES WITH A SENSOR AND TELEMETRY SYSTEM - Fixation system for bones with a connection support, at least one bone screw that can be inserted into a through hole of the connection support and a sensor and telemetry system, wherein the sensor and telemetry system is arranged on a separate plate, which can be connected with the connection support. | 09-03-2009 |
20100036332 | ASPIRATION DRAINAGE SYSTEM COMPRISING A MATERIAL DEPOT WITH AN ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTION - The subject matter of the invention is an aspiration drainage system for aspirating secretions and other fluids out of the human or animal body using a suction tube and at least one material depot, arranged at the end of the suction tube to be inserted into the body, for dispensing an antibacterial active ingredient material. The surface of the material depot is larger than the envelope of the material depot. The increased surface of the material depot effects a higher level of the antibacterial active ingredient material and permits effective destruction in situ of both sensitive pathological germs and partially resistant germs. | 02-11-2010 |
20100082069 | LOAD CARRIER FOR A BONE FIXATION SYSTEM - The subject matter of the invention is a load carrier for a bone fixation system, with a locally varying material strength with unchanging material elasticity, and a method for producing such a load carrier. The load carrier, matched in view of the load flow acting on the fixation system, can also be used in critical anatomical regions, e.g. for hand implants. | 04-01-2010 |
20100136080 | MATERIAL DEPOT FOR RELEASING AN ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVE AGENT - The subject matter of the invention is a material depot which dispenses an antibacterial active ingredient material into a human or animal body via the surface of the depot. The surface of the material depot is larger than the envelope of the material depot. The increased surface of the material depot effects a higher level of the antibacterial active ingredient material at the location of the implant and permits effective destruction in situ of both sensitive pathological germs and partially resistant germs. | 06-03-2010 |
20100137919 | BONE SCREW - The invention relates to a bone screw with a shaft that defines a longitudinal axis and with a head that is configured as a thickened portion, said shaft and head being threaded. The thread of the shaft (bone thread) merges in an uninterrupted manner into the thread on the flared area of the head adjoining the shaft. As a result, part of the threaded head lies in the osseous tissue, giving a larger contact surface between bone screw and bone and improving the distribution and transmission of the loads and forces. | 06-03-2010 |
20100179552 | REPOSITIONING AND FIXATION SYSTEM FOR BONE FRAGMENTS - The repositioning and fixation system according to the invention comprises at least two bone plates that are designed to be interconnected. Each bone plate is provided with a connector element for connection to another bone plate. The connector element of a first bone plate comprises a plurality of projections. The connector element of a second bone plate comprises an opening. In a first connection state, the projections engage in the opening and produce a hinge-type connection between the first bone plate and the second bone plate. In a second connection state, the projections are tensioned and produce a rigid connection between the first bone plate and the second bone plate. With the repositioning and fixation system according to the invention, bone fragments secured to the bone plates can be repositioned by pivoting of the bone plates. Once the bone fragments have been brought to their final position, the projections can be tensioned in such a way that the bone plates are rigidly interconnected. | 07-15-2010 |
20140296853 | Osteosynthesis system for the multidirectional, angular-stable treatment of fractures of tubular bones comprising an intramedullary nail and bone screws - An osteosynthesis system for treating fractures of tubular bones includes an intramedullary nail with an elongated nail body consisting of a hard metal material with two end sections and a middle section therebetween that has at least one transverse screw hole close to the end for screwing in at least one bone screw into each end section. The nail body is solid or has a through-channel arranged in the center in the cross-section of the nail body. In the middle section at least two transverse one-sided screw holes are placed proximate to a fracture. Screw holes are formed as inlays made out of soft metal material securely joined to the nail body, and bone screws with an initial thread consisting of hard metal material that can be screwed into the bone and screw holes while forming threads. | 10-02-2014 |
20140296854 | Osteosynthesis system for the multidirectional, angular-stable treatment of fractures of tubular bones comprising an intramedullary nail and bone screws - An osteosynthesis system for treating fractures of tubular bones includes an intramedullary nail with an elongated nail body consisting of a hard metal material with two end sections and a middle section that has at least one transverse screw hole close to the end for screwing in at least one bone screw into each end section. The nail body has a through-channel for pushing through a guide element, in the middle section on the side of the through-channel with the lowest wall thickness, at least two transverse one-sided screw holes for screwing in bone screws are placed proximate to a fracture, all one-sided screw holes are formed as inlays made out of soft metal material securely joined to the nail body, and bone screws with an initial thread consisting of hard metal material that can be screwed into the bone and screw holes while forming threads. | 10-02-2014 |
