| 20090299399 | Medical Punch - A medical punch having a hollow shaft, a punching tool that is mounted on the distal end of the hollow shaft and consists of a rigid cutting edge and a cutting edge that can slide with respect to the rigid cutting edge, and a handle mounted on the proximal end of the hollow shaft, where the displaceable cutting edge and the handle are operatively connected with one another by a push/pull device that is displaceably mounted in the hollow shaft and configured as a push/pull rod. 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 |
| 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 |
| 20100217286 | Medical Instrument For Grasping Surgical Suture Material - A medical instrument for grasping surgical suture material, with a shaft on whose proximal end a handle is positioned consisting of at least two gripping members and on whose distal end a tool is positioned consisting of a rigid jaw member and a pivotable jaw member and where the pivotable jaw member can be pivoted with respect to the rigid jaw member for opening and closing with a moveably configured gripping member of the handle, for which purpose the pivotable jaw member and the moveable gripping member are in active connection with one another by means of an actuating element mounted in the shaft. To create a medical instrument that is both easy to operate and makes possible a safe grasping and guiding of the suture material, it is disclosed that in the rigid jaw member there should be configured an indentation that opens toward the pivotable jaw member and that can be covered, with the tool in closed position, only in the center area by the pivotable jaw member. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100312265 | Medical punch - A medical punch with a hollow shaft, a tool point that is positioned on the distal end of the shaft and includes a rigid cutting part and a cutting part that can slide with respect to the rigid cutting part, and with a handle positioned on the proximal end of the shaft, such that the displaceable cutting part and the handle are operatively connected with one another by a push/pull device that is displaceably mounted in the hollow shaft and an anti-tilt mechanism is positioned on the tool point to stabilize the cutting parts in their axially parallel alignment to one another. The rigid cutting part includes a sleeve-shaped proximal portion that encloses the displaceable cutting part and a distal punch portion configured as a single unit with the sleeve-shaped portion and that the rigid cutting part should be detachably connected with the hollow shaft by a coupling mechanism formed on the sleeve-shaped portion. | 12-09-2010 |
