  • Publication number: 20220250111
    Abstract: A discharge arrangement includes a fluid conducting component having an outlet part, an accessory having an inlet part, and a locking ring, the inlet part of the accessory being releasably attachable to the outlet part of the fluid conducting component. The outlet part includes two or more outlets surrounded by a collar, with an outer surface of the collar having a first rotation constraining member. The inlet part includes two inlets surrounded by a sleeve, the two inlets being complementary to the two outlets of the fluid conducting component to couple the outlets to the inlets to enable a fluid communication between one of the outlets with one of the inlets.

  • Publication number: 20210129096
    Abstract: A mixing and dispensing system for a two-component material, such as a bone cement, the mixing and dispensing system including a handle connected to the mixer via a mixing shaft. The mixing shaft extends through the piston from the piston driving end in the direction of the outlet end in order to move the mixer in dependence on movements initiated via the handle, and with the handle being detachable, in particular in a non-destructive manner, from the mixing shaft via a connector.

  • Patent number: 10980588
    Abstract: A separator element (300) is designed to prevent the passage of granulate along an axial direction (L) but to allow the passage of liquid along the axial direction (L). The separator element (300) has an internal thread (310) open towards its proximal end, and an external thread (320) open towards the distal end. At its proximal end, the separator element additionally has at least one resilient locking arm (330) which is arranged on the outer circumference and winch extends with its free end in the proximal direction. In this way, the separator element can be mounted on the discharge opening of a container (100) and, by means of a closure piece (400), can be fixed on the container in such a way that the separator element remains on the container when the closure piece is removed.

  • Patent number: 9981283
    Abstract: This invention relates to a discharge device of the dispenser gun type, which is suitable in particular for discharging semi-solid materials such as e.g. bone replacement materials. The discharge device comprises an adapter (400) which is removably attached to a main body (110) of the discharge device. A fastening structure for attachment of a container (300) is formed on the adapter substantially along a proximal direction (C) contrary to the feed direction (A). As a result various types of containers can be fastened to the machine without the need to change the mechanism of the device. The container can be provided on both ends with identical external threads and can be closed by closure caps in order to enable intuitive handling. In order to improve access to points which are difficult to reach, the container may be in the form of a curved pipe or may be formed flexibly. The piston rod (200) of the discharge device is then also formed flexibly.

  • Publication number: 20170225191
    Abstract: A discharge device that serves the purpose of discharging at least two components from a multiple cartridge. The discharge device has a housing, a threaded rod and an advancing element with an internal thread. The threaded rod engages in the internal thread of the advancing element such that the advancing element can be pushed forward in a distal direction by turning the threaded rod in relation to the housing. In the region of its distal end, the threaded rod has a taper. Formed on the housing, in the region of its distal end, is a holding element. The holding element has a laterally open clearance, and the threaded rod is pushed with its taper laterally into the clearance of the holding element such that the holding element fixes the threaded rod axially in the housing in the distal direction and in a proximal direction opposite thereto.

  • Publication number: 20170100115
    Abstract: An applicator for spraying at least two components in the interior of the body of a patient uses a compressed gas, the applicator being suitable in particular for laparoscopic applications. The applicator has a connecting piece for connection of the applicator to two reservoirs for the components and for delivery of a compressed gas. A multi-lumen tube extends from the connecting piece to a spray head. A flexible wire is fixed in a first lumen which extends off-center. The applicator has at least one adapter having two tube connectors which are introduced into two further lumina. These two further lumina likewise extend off-center and are offset in the circumferential direction from the lumen which receives the wire. A further lumen can extend centrally and can receive a second wire. Identical adapters can be provided at both ends of the multi-lumen tube.

  • Publication number: 20160128752
    Abstract: A mixing and discharging device (1) has a syringe-like container (10), in which a plunger can be moved. A press-out spindle (30) having an external thread (31) interacts with a counterpart (40) by means of a thread engagement. The counterpart comprises one or more thread segments, which can be deflected outward in order to release the thread engagement. A securing element (5) can be slid onto the counterpart (40) in a distal direction in order to prevent a release of the thread engagement. A mixing rod (61) extends through the plunger (20). An operating element (70) is connected to the proximal end of the mixing rod by means of a releasable form closure or force closure. A locking element (80) can be moved between a locking position and a release position. In the locking position, the locking clement prevents a release of the form closure or force closure. Insulating ribs (13) minimise the input of heat into the interior of the container due to touching.

  • Patent number: 9155680
    Abstract: A modular filling device for filling at least a first reservoir (111) of an applicator (100) with a fluid is proposed. The filling device comprises a container holder (310) with a holding area (320) on which a container (330) is held. The applicator is mounted along a securing direction on an applicator holder (200). In order to permit the greatest possible flexibility in the choice of the container, the container holder (310) can be connected to the applicator holder (200) along a connecting direction that runs transversely with respect to the securing direction for the applicator.
