20100292694 | INTRAMEDULLARY ROD INSTRUMENT - A femoral instrument for use in the intramedullary canal is described and includes an intramedullary rod having a tip at a free end. A body is attached to the intramedullary rod and has a face with a bone abutting portion. A centraliser mechanism is located within the rod and is operable to deploy and retract a plurality of members to engage and disengage an inner surface of the intramedullary canal. | 11-18-2010 |
20100305488 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT ATTACHMENT - A surgical instrument which can be attached to a patient is described. The instrument includes an alignment guide having a distal end and a proximal end. A brace is attached toward the proximal end of the alignment guide for attaching the instrument to a limb of a patient. The brace comprises a pair of opposed members, each member being shaped to hold a respective bony part of the patient on either side of the patient. At least a part of the brace is made of a resilient material allowing the brace to grip the patient in use. | 12-02-2010 |
20110040302 | ADJUSTABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A surgical instrument is described which comprises an alignment guide having a first part including a distal end and a second part having a proximal end. The first part is attached to the second part by a pivot mechanism so that the first part can be tilted relative to the second part. A brace is attached toward the proximal end of the alignment guide for attaching the instrument to a limb of a patient. A component is attached toward the distal end of the alignment guide. The pivot mechanism is configured so that tilting the first part does not substantially change the separation between the component and the brace. | 02-17-2011 |
20110266280 | COVER - A cover and method of covering a sterilizable medical container are described. The cover is used to cover a sterilizable medical container wrapped in at least one sheet of a wrapping material. The cover has a body including an upper member configured to hold the wrapping material against an upper portion of the container and a lower member configured to hold the wrapping material against a lower portion of the container. The body can be assembled about the wrapped container to hold the wrapping material about the container. At least one handle extends from the body which can be held by a user to move the covered wrapped container. | 11-03-2011 |
20130023890 | PATELLA CLAMP AND DRILL GUIDE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a patella drill guide having a first bracket, a second bracket coupled to the first bracket and moveable relative to the first bracket. The second bracket includes a drill plate having a plurality of guide holes defined therein. | 01-24-2013 |
20140094815 | ADJUSTABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A surgical instrument is described which comprises an alignment guide having a first part including a distal end and a second part having a proximal end. The first part is attached to the second part by a pivot mechanism so that the first part can be tilted relative to the second part. A brace is attached toward the proximal end of the alignment guide for attaching the instrument to a limb of a patient. A component is attached toward the distal end of the alignment guide. The pivot mechanism is configured so that tilting the first part does not substantially change the separation between the component and the brace. | 04-03-2014 |
20140253872 | SEALING SYSTEM FOR USE IN VARIABLE FOCUS LENSES - The present disclosure provides a sealing device for use in variable focus lenses that includes a guide member having at least one internal cavity and a passageway intersecting the internal cavity. A pinch member is slidably engaged within the internal cavity of the guide member and a portion of the pinch member slides across the passageway and into a portion of the internal cavity to deform and seal a fluid tube extending through the passageway. A set of adjustable eyeglasses employing the sealing device is also provided. | 09-11-2014 |
20140257289 | INTRAMEDULLARY ROD INSTRUMENT - A femoral instrument for use in the intramedullary canal is described and includes an intramedullary rod having a tip at a free end. A body is attached to the intramedullary rod and has a face with a bone abutting portion. A centraliser mechanism is located within the rod and is operable to deploy and retract a plurality of members to engage and disengage an inner surface of the intramedullary canal. The length of the intramedullary rod from the tip to the face of the body is less than 30 cm. The instrument can also include an angular adjustment mechanism. The angular adjustment mechanism can have a plurality of formations and can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the intramedullary rod to present at least a one of the formations to abut a portion of the body to define the relative angle between the body and the intramedullary rod. | 09-11-2014 |
