Abstract: Described is a mould (1) for making a temporary prosthetic component for a knee in an operating room comprising: a first half-mould (10); a second half-mould (20) which can be coupled to the first half-mould (10) for forming a moulding chamber (C) for a temporary prosthetic component made of medical cement; and elements (30) for fixing the first half-mould (10) to the second half-mould (20). Each fixing element (30) has a rod (31) configured for connecting the first half-mould (10) to the second half-mould (20) and defining a weakness neck (32) configured to allow a facilitated breakage of the rod (31).

Abstract: A mould (1) for forming spacers made of medical bone cement is described, comprising a female half-shell (11), provided with a hemispheroidal concavity (13) and a male half-shell (12), provided with a hemispheroidal convexity (14) and insertable in the concavity (13), to define with it an internal space for forming the spacer which has an acetabular shape.

Abstract: The modular mould (1) for forming an orthopaedic spacer made of medical cement defines a moulding cavity delimited by a moulding surface (3, 3?, 3?) and configured for impressing a predetermined shape on said medical cement and realising said orthopaedic spacer. The mould (1, 1?) comprises a first sector (7a, 7a?, 7a?), defining a first portion of said surface, and a second sector (7b, 7b?) defining a second portion of the surface, the first and the second portion of the surface being variable, so as to obtain spacers having variable dimensions.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a thoracic prosthesis constituted by a right hemisphere ED and a left hemisphere ES joined together, or to only one of the two hemispheres, or to only one portion of the latter. The present invention further relates to a method for the preparation of a synthetic thoracic prosthesis PT constituted by a right hemisphere ED and a left hemisphere ES joined together by only one of the two hemispheres or by a single portion of the latter; all of the above being prepared without any direct interaction with human body and prior to implantation therein.

Abstract: The modular mould (1) for forming an orthopaedic spacer made of medical cement defines a moulding cavity (2) delimited by a moulding surface (3) configured for impressing a predetermined shape on the medical cement and realising the orthopaedic spacer. The mould (1) comprises a first sector (7a), defining at least a first portion (8) of the surface (3), and a second sector (7b) defining at least a second portion (12) of the surface (3). The mould (1) comprises at least a first forming insert (14) insertable in a housing (13) fashioned in at least one of said sectors (7a, 7b) and comprises a respective portion (8, 12) of the surface (3), said respective portion (8, 12) of the surface (3) having an elongate shape which is configured for forming an elongate portion of said orthopaedic spacer.

Abstract: A mold (1) and accessories thereof for the forming of an orthopedic spacer made of medical cement, defining a molding cavity (2) delimited by a molding surface (3) configured to impart a pre-established shape to the medical cement and to create the orthopedic spacer, wherein at least one sector (6) of the forming mold (1) defining at least one portion of the molding surface (3) is made with a thermoplastic copolymer based material.
