20080230421 | Surgical data carrier - The invention relates to a surgical data carrier for the identification of a medical implant, in particular, a surgical plate for the fixing of bones or bone fragments, comprising a carrier element and a connecting device which has a receptacle for the insertion of at least part of the implant. In order to make such a surgical data carrier available which has an improved handling capability, it is suggested according to the invention that the connecting device be designed in such a manner that it can be transferred from a connecting position, in which the implant is held in the receptacle, into a release position, in which the data carrier can be detached from the implant, without any forces acting on the implant. In addition, the invention relates to a surgical implantation system as well as an identification system for identifying and handling a medical implant. | 09-25-2008 |

20130184726 | SURGICAL CLIP - A surgical clip is provided having two clip arms and a resiliently flexible element via which the two clip arms are connected to each other. The two clip arms each have a first free end, these first free ends being held parallel to and in contact with each other with a predetermined closing force by the resiliently flexible element when the clip is in a rest position. The clip arms are held at a second end opposite the free end on the resiliently flexible element. The clip arms have between their first and second ends sections configured to cross each other. The clip arms further have stop elements configured to complement each other. The stop elements are adapted to be brought in mutual contact when the clip is transferred from the rest position to an application position in which the free ends are spaced apart from each other. | 07-18-2013 |
20150080975 | MEDICAL INSTRUMENT - The present invention relates to a medical instrument for applying a bone plate fixing device which comprises a first bone contact element with a rod-shaped connecting member protruding therefrom and defining a longitudinal direction and a second bone contact element which is movable on the connecting member towards the first bone contact element, characterised by a feed apparatus comprising a feed element for application to the second bone contact element, a guide element with a proximal and a distal end for guiding movement of the feed element and a feed mechanism for moving the feed element in the distal direction relative to the guide element. | 03-19-2015 |
