Abstract: A dental splint for fixing a tooth with increased mobility, which dental splint has several eyes, adjacent eyes being interconnected via a flat connection, and the individual eyes each having a through-opening which is surrounded by a link so that it is possible, by way of the through-opening, to apply an adhesive to the tooth located behind the respective through-opening to secure the dental splint on the tooth, wherein the through-opening of the eye is substantially diamond-shaped, and wherein the flat connection between the eyes is at least approximately twice as wide as the link which surrounds the through-openings.

Abstract: An osteosynthetic bone plate has elongated compression cavities containing eccentric countersinks. The plate includes a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a plate upper side, and a plate lower side for facing bone fragments. The bone plate also includes a compression element with two plate braces which run substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. Both plate braces are linked together by bridging struts which intersect the longitudinal axis. A plate brace has an eyelet on at least one of the outer sides of the compression element. Additional eyelets can be positioned in front of this eyelet. A compression cavity is situated in each of said eyelets and a connecting strut, which intersects the transverse axis, extends between the eyelets which are located on each plate brace.

Abstract: The invention relates to an osteosynthetic bone plate which has elongated compression cavities containing eccentric countersinkings. The plate comprises a longitudinal axis (X), a transverse axis (Y), a plate upper side and a plate lower side, whereby the latter is placed facing the bone fragments. The bone plate also comprises a compression element consisting of two plate braces which run substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. Both plate braces are linked together by bridging struts which intersect the longitudinal axis. A plate brace has an eyelet on at least one of the outer sides of the compression element. Additional eyelets can be positioned in front of this eyelet. A compression cavity is situated in each of said eyelets and a connecting strut which intersects the transverse axis, extends between the eyelets which are located on each plate brace.

Abstract: A bone plate is provided for treating a fracture, especially a fracture of an atrophic mandible, which bone plate comprises a plurality of eyelets through the holes of which screws can be screwed into the bone fragments in order to fasten the bone plate to the bone fragments so that the bone fragments on one side and on the other side of the fracture are maintained in a desired position relative to one another by means of the bone plate. The bone plate has a plate thickness in the range of from 0.5 mm to 1.

Abstract: The blockable bone plate consists of a plurality of plate members which are connected to each other via webs. A screw hole is provided in at least some plate members, preferably in each plate member. The screw hole is surrounded by a spherical countersink on the upper surface of the plate. Provided internally in the screw hole there is an engagement contour which consists of contour valleys and contour peaks partially running in a horizontal and radial peripheral direction on the wall of the screw hole. The engagement contour is preferably produced by milling and has for example a pointed, round, trapezoidal or serrated configuration. A blocking thread is provided under the screw head of the screw intended for blocking. As the screw is screwed in, the blocking thread engages in the engagement contour. The particular advantages lie in increased security against the screw coming loose and in the possibility of also inserting the screw through the plate at an inclination.

Abstract: The device with a bone plate (1) and with a temporarily attachable retainer (100) is used for fixation of, in particular, fragments of a jaw bone. The bone plate (1) has a longitudinal guide slot (40) which is open at one end or closed at both ends. The retainer (100) comprises a disk (110) which engages partially over the bone plate (1) and in which a locking screw (120) sits preferably in a rotatable manner and secure against loss, said locking screw (120) being intended to be screwed into a bone fragment via the guide slot (40). At one end, the bone plate (1) advantageously has areas of members (30) comprising individual members which can be divided off to obtain the desired length, The device extends the possibilities of screwing the bone plate (1), so that better adaptability to the particular task is achieved, and also improved rigidity across the edge of the bone plate (1), while the elasticity of the latter across the surface can be increased by means of less material thickness.

Abstract: The device for handling items (20) with a head (21) and a shank (22), such as screws, pins and the like, has a hand piece (1), which has a chamber (2) for receiving the items (20). From an inner side (11) of the chamber (2) there extends a guiding recess (14,17) to a dispensing side (3) of the hand piece (1), which recess has a cross-section adapted to the outer contour of the items (20) and, at the end on the dispensing side, an end portion (18) angled away with respect to a delivery portion (19) adjoining the chamber (2). The items (20) can be transferred from the chamber (2) to the dispensing side (3), for example by tilting with respect to the horizontal, the angling away of the end portion (18) with respect to the delivery portion (19) having the effect of creating a dispensing block, ahead of which the items (20) build up in the dispensing direction.

Abstract: A cutting pliers for cutting implant plates features two handgrips (10) joined via a hand-grip pivot (11), which handgrips actuate by way of leverage pivots (14) a pliers holding jaw (15) and a pliers punching jaw (16). Formed on the pliers holding jaw (15) are holding pins (19, 20, 21) adapted for entering matching recesses of the implant plates being cut. A cutting device (18) is fashioned on the pliers punching jaw (16). Implant plates of different implant systems, with half-round, burrless cuts, can be cut with said cutting pliers.
