Abstract: A medical system includes at least two mutually different implants and at least two mutually different instruments. Each of the instruments is configured and intended to cooperate and be compatible with an implant. The medical system also includes a microscope that defines a microscope field of view and a compatibility checking apparatus. The compatibility checking apparatus can be used in a method to automatically check for compatibility between an instrument and an implant when the instrument and the implant are positioned together in the microscope field of view.

Abstract: A medical clip includes a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a biasing element with a first and a second end. The first clamping arm has a first clamping arm end, which is connected to the first end of the biasing element by way of a first connecting portion. The second clamping arm has a second clamping arm end, which is connected to the second end of the biasing element by way of a second connecting portion. The clip includes a box lock with a connection perforation arranged or formed on the first connecting portion and a connection portion comprised by the second connecting portion and passing through the connection perforation. The first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are maximally proximate to one another in a basic position.

Abstract: An application system for medical clips includes at least one first application instrument for applying a first type of a medical clip and at least one first medical clip of the first type. The first application instrument includes two first tool elements that are movable relative to one another. The at least one first medical clip of the first type has a first proximal end region and two first connecting portions that distally adjoin the first proximal end region and connect the first proximal end region to two clamping arms of the at least one first clip of the first type that are movable relative to one another. The two first tool elements include between them a first end region receptacle that is open in the distal direction for accommodating the first proximal end region in a positive-locking or substantially positive-locking manner.

Abstract: A medical clip includes first and second clamping arms and a biasing element. The first clamping arm is connected to a first end of the biasing element, and the second clamping arm is connected to a second end of the biasing element. The first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are maximally proximate to one another in a basic position of the clip and are movable away from one another against the action of the biasing element from the basic position into an opening position. The medical clip is made partially by a generative manufacturing process, in which the medical clip has at least one first clip portion and at least one second clip portion. The at least one second clip portion is formed directly onto the at least one first clip portion by a generative manufacturing process.

Abstract: A medical clip, in particular in the form of an aneurysm clip, includes two clamping arms and a biasing element. A clamping arm is arranged or formed on a free end of the biasing element. The two clamping arms abut against one another in a basic position and are movable away from one another against the action of the biasing element into an open position. At least part of a surface of the clip is of colored configuration. The clip defines at least three clip regions that are spatially separate from one another. Adjacent clip regions of the at least three clip regions are of differently colored configuration.
