  • Patent number: 11457991
    Abstract: A securing device secures a mounting for sterile products or products to be sterilized in a medical container. The securing device has a first securing section, in particular a U-shaped or hook-shaped securing section, which is designed to engage around an edge of a first recess provided on the base of the container in a form-fitting manner, and a second securing section, which is designed to engage around the edge of the first recess and/or at least one second recess in a form-fitting manner from the opposite direction. At least one of the two securing sections is designed to be spring-elastic in order to allow the securing device to be clamped to the base of the container.

  • Patent number: 11090402
    Abstract: A divider for a sterilization filter basket for sterilizing medical instruments has two lateral wall sections and a central wall section therebetween. The divider is substantially flat in configuration, and the central wall section is perforated by a multiplicity of openings. One lateral wall section or both lateral wall sections has/have a slit-shaped notch, so that the lateral region of the lateral wall section, which is separated by the slit-shaped notch, is formed as a resilient section that has a number of lateral protrusions. If only one lateral wall section is formed in this way, then the other lateral wall section has a number of protrusions that extend at least partially in the lateral direction and at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the extension plane of the central wall section.

  • Publication number: 20150075005
    Abstract: A surgical rod cutter includes first and second device parts adapted to be rotated relative to one another about an axis of rotation. The device parts each have a continuous opening for accommodating a rod to be severed, the opening having its longitudinal axis oriented in the direction of the axis of rotation and a cutting edge. The cutting edge of the second device part is formed in opposed relationship with the cutting edge of the first device part. The openings are arranged with the same amount of eccentricity with respect to the axis of rotation. The device parts are operatively connected to one another by teeth and can be positioned relative to one another. At least one of the openings can have replaceably arranged therein a bushing provided with the cutting edge.
