There is further provided a removing tool for removing the valve device from an access port. There is further provided a mounting tool for mounting a valve device in an access port. An assembly having a mounting tool and a valve device is also provided.

Abstract: A transcutaneous access port to a user has a coupling member destined to be anchored in a bone of the user. A first valve system is removably connectable to the coupling member and a second valve system is removably connected to the first valve system. An internal conduit is connected at its proximal end to the access port and at its distal end to a vascular structure of the user. An external conduit is connected to the access port and to an extracorporeal device. A traversing cavity is formed in the bone at an implantation site of the user, passing the internal conduit. The internal conduit is routed through the traversing cavity to connect its distal end to the vascular structure of the user. The coupling member is anchored to the bone at the implantation site. The proximal end of the internal conduit is connected to the access port.

Abstract: Implantable access port for removal and/or return of fluids to a patient, comprising an internal conduit connectable at its proximal end to the access port and at its distal end to a vascular structure of the patient; an external conduit connectable at its proximal end to the access port and at its distal end to an extracorporeal device; and a transcutaneous coupling member destined to be anchored in a tissue of the patient and comprising a first valve system operable to be in an open or closed configuration; the coupling member further comprises a second valve system removably connectable to the first valve system and operable to be in an open or closed configuration, such as to establish fluid communication between the internal and external conduits when the first and second valve systems are connected and in open configuration.

Abstract: An anchor for securing a tooth replacement includes an anchoring part secured to an implant or jaw, having a recess, and a pivoting part to which the tooth replacement can be secured and which contains a pin. The pivoting part is pivotable with respect to the anchoring part when the pin is received in the recess. The anchor is configured to permit application of a hardenable substance in the recess of the anchoring part so as to fix the pivoting part in a defined position of pivoting.

Abstract: A transcutaneous implantable access port for removal and/or return of fluids of a patient comprises a fixation unit adapted to be fixed to a bone of the patient; a valve unit comprising a sealing membrane at its distal end and one or more chambers; an internal conduit fluidly connectable to vascular structure of the patient and releasably connectable to the valve unit to establish fluidic communication between the internal conduit and said one or more chambers; and an extracorporeal connecting member having an end portion. The extracorporeal connecting member is connectable to the distal end of the valve unit, opening and closing a fluidic passage between the connecting member and said one or several chambers when the connecting member is respectively connected to the access port and withdrawn therefrom. The access port can be used for high volume removal and/or return of blood or other fluids from the patient.

Abstract: The arrangement for fastening a dental prosthesis to a male bar including a female housing that is connectable to the dental prosthesis and at least two inserts that are insertable into the female housing and extend over the male bar when the female housing is attached to the latter. The arrangement allows a simpler adjustment of the retention force that retains the female housing on the male bar.

Abstract: The arrangement for forming a bar construction, to which a prosthesis can be fastened, may comprise: a first connecting element with a first end which has a through-opening through which an end of a fixation screw can be passed in order to fasten the first connecting element in a specific angular position in relation to an implant, and a second end which is connectable with a bar, and a second connecting element, which is connectable by a releasable connection to the first connecting element, and securing means for counteracting a separation of the two connecting elements from each other when these are connected and moved. The two connecting elements may each comprise an end that has a substantially spherical inner face and a substantially spherical outer face. The head of a fixation screw may have a first substantially spherical outer face and a second substantially conical outer face.

Abstract: The anchor for securing a tooth replacement comprises an anchoring part (1) which can be secured to an implant or jaw and which has a recess (2), and a pivoting part (10) to which the tooth replacement can be secured and which contains a pin (11). The pivoting part is pivotable with respect to the anchoring part when the pin is received in the recess. The anchor comprises means (15, 19) for applying a hardenable substance in the recess (2) of the anchoring part (1), in order to fix the pivoting part in a defined position of pivoting.

Abstract: The extracoronal attachment comprises a female part (65), which is to be connected to the dental prosthesis, and a male part, which can be fastened to a natural tooth or implant and which has an approximal part (51). The approximal part has, on each of two opposite longitudinal sides, at least one longitudinal groove (20) or longitudinal rib inside of which a corresponding longitudinal rib (30) or longitudinal groove of the female part enters whereby establishing a positive connection, and has at least one occlusally facing bearing surface, on which the female part rests with a supporting surface. The female part comprises a housing, with which the longitudinal ribs (30) or longitudinal grooves of the female part and the supporting surface are provided as a single piece.
