Patent number: 10507062Abstract: A medical fastening device for noninvasively fastening a medical marking device comprising two or more marking elements to a body part of a patient is provided. The fastening device has a support body which extends over a surface in two directions of extent aligned at an angle to each other and is adaptable in its shape to the contour of the body part, to which the marking device is fixed or fixable. The support body is elastically stretchable in the surface of its extent and comprises a first stretch area and at least one second stretch area, the stretchability of which in at least one direction in the surface of the extent of the support body is less than that of the first stretch area. A medical referencing device and a medical instrumentation comprising such a fastening device are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Stefan Gassner, Steffi Altmann, Markus Mueller

Publication number: 20170202634Abstract: A medical referencing device for a medical navigation system is provided, with which a movement of a body part, with the referencing device attached thereto, is trackable in space. The referencing device has a fastening device for fastening the referencing device to the body part and a referencing body which extends over a surface and is elastically stretchable in at least one direction. The referencing body is adaptable in shape to a contour of the body part and has a marking area with a pattern. The referencing body being configured such that during movement of the body part at least a section of the pattern is undeformed or substantially undeformed, and at least a section of the pattern is usable by the navigation system as reference for tracking the body part. A medical navigation system and a method for tracking a medical referencing device in space are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: Stefan Gassner, Steffi Altmann, Markus Mueller

Patent number: 8657068Abstract: The present invention relates to a securing device for protecting individuals against falling, with two stop elements which can be attached releasably to a positionally fixed securing element and can be connected via a connecting element to the individual. Each stop element has a locking device which can be adjusted between an unlocking state, in which the stop element can be attached to the securing element or released therefrom, and a locking state, in which the stop element cannot be released from the respective securing element. A coupling device is coupled to the locking devices of the stop elements in such a manner that, in the unlocking state, the locking device of the other stop element is blocked in its locking state. A preferred construction of the coupling device has a blocking lever which can be pivoted into a blocking position for blocking the locking device in its locking state.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2009Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: EDELRID GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Stefan Gassner

Patent number: 8281895Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a stop element for a securing device, with a contact element. A locking device is shiftable between unlocked and locked states. The stop element is attachable to and releasable from the securing element in the unlocked state and not releasable from the securing element in the locked state. The locking device has an actuating device which is shiftable between an active position and a passive position and when in its active position blocks the locking device in its unlocked state and is transferable into its passive position, in which the locking device is shiftable into its locked state, when the stop element is attached to the securing element. The contact element may form part of the actuating device such that the actuating device can be shifted into its passive position when the securing element contacts the contact element.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2009Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: fazinatour Touristik-Training-Event GmbHInventor: Stefan Gassner
