Patent number: 7122037Abstract: A fastener for the treatment of fractures and the materials for production thereof. The fastener having a head with a contact portion for an installation tool and an attaching part having a treaded portion. The threads of the threaded portion are 5 to 20 % of the height of the outer diameter of the thread. The material for producing the fastener is a blend containing a biodegradable base material and one or more copolymer additives so that at room temperature the ductility of the blend is substantially higher than that of the pure base material. The base material may be a biodegradable polymer and/or a copolymer.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2001Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Inion Ltd.Inventors: Harri Happonen, Timo Pohjonen, Auvo Kaikkonen, Jan Nieuwenhuis

Patent number: 7041107Abstract: An instrument for shaping a mouth part of a drilled tunnel provided in a bone. The instrument includes a shaft having a longitudinal axis and a first and a second end. The first end of the shaft is provided with a projection, which includes a blade for shaping the mouth part of the drilled tunnel when the instrument is turned around the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The instrument is asymmetric at an intersecting surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and intersecting with the blade, the instrument thus shaping the surfaces surrounding the first end only substantially within an area corresponding with a turning angle of such a turning movement.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Inion Ltd.Inventors: Timo Pohjonen, Auvo Kaikkonen, Jan Nieuwenhuis, Pia Ahvenjärvi, Olli Karhi, Timo Reunamäki, Jukka Koljonen
