| 20090001676 | Coupling Device for Attaching Medical Instruments to a Holding Device - A coupling device for securing medical instruments to a holding device allows for simple and rapid handling and exact positioning of the medical instrument. A coupler socket is configured on one component and a coupler plug is configured on the other component, wherein the coupler socket and coupler plug can be fixed in mutually connected position with respect to one another by means of at least one locking element. The coupler socket is configured as a sleeve-shaped collet chuck comprising several mutually distanced spring arms. The coupler plug comprises a coupling pin equipped with at least one radially outward-pointing catch cam. When coupled, at least one catch cam of the coupling pin catches on a corresponding back-cut on the collet chuck. The locking element can be screwed onto the collet chuck so that the spring arms of the collet chuck in the coupled position are affixed facing radially outward. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090112161 | Medical Instrument with Injection Needles That Can Be Spread Out Sideways - A medical instrument comprises a tubular body, housing at least one injection needle with a radially outwardly directed tip portion in an axially undisplaceable manner. A control element serves for deploying the tip of the injection needle out sideways from the tubular body. It is proposed that the control element is housed in the tubular body in an axially displaceable manner, and that said element it in operative connection with the at least one injection needle in such a way that, in a first axially displaced position, the outwardly directed tip portion of the injection needle is fully retracted in the body and, in a second axially displaced position, at least the tip of the outwardly directed tip portion is pressed sideways out from the tubular body (FIG. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090209825 | Endoscope - An endoscope having a hollow shaft for inserting an image guide, so that the distal end of the shaft is configured at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the shaft and the shaft is closed at the distal end by means of an end piece provided with a pass-through borehole for the image guide. To create an endoscope with an image transmission system of sufficient image size and image quality that can be autoclaved for cleaning purposes, it is proposed with the invention that the image guide should be positioned in the shaft in such a way that the bending radius of the image guide in the area of the bending of the shaft is greater than the bending radius of the shaft in the area of the bending. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090242001 | Medical Cleaning Device For Cleaning Interior Surfaces of Hollow Shafts - A medical cleaning device is used to clean interior surfaces of hollow shafts of medical instruments. The device has a closed body which can be inserted into the hollow shaft of the medical instrument to be cleaned, an outer diameter of the body being smaller than a clear inner diameter of the hollow shaft such that an inner lumen remains which is reduced compared to the inner lumen of the hollow shaft. The body has a connection starting from one end, a cleaning liquid can be guided into the reduced inner lumen when the body is inserted in the hollow shaft. Furthermore, provision is made for a support by means of which the body can be supported on the medical instrument. | 10-01-2009 |
