Publication number: 20230371794Abstract: A reusable irrigation sheath for an endoscope includes a sheathing tube connected to an end portion, a fixing unit formed at the end portion, and a rinsing port fluid-connected to the sheathing tube. The irrigation sheath includes an endoscope channel extending through the end portion and the sheathing tube. Once the endoscope shaft has been introduced into the endoscope channel and has reached the work position, the irrigation sheath is fixed to the endoscope via the fixing unit so that the distal end of the endoscope shaft rests against an axial stop and the radial position of the endoscope shaft in the sheathing tube is specified by at least two radial stops such that a rinsing channel located within the sheathing tube and in fluid connection with the rinsing port extends up to the distal end of the sheathing tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Ina DOMINKE, Daniel SEEH

Publication number: 20230226279Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller. A dose setting means can be provided which comprises a spacer and a movement unit. The spacer moves from a neutral position into an active position such that the driver is stopped by the spacer so the piston stroke during the movement of the piston to the open dispensing end is shorter in comparison to the case in which the spacer is in its neutral position. The spacer has a through bore in which a spindle with a spindle thread is guided. A pin protrudes into the spindle thread. The spindle thread leads at at least one of its two ends into an annular groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2021Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Anika SCHMIDT, Robin SAUTER, Daniel SEEH, Maikel WIEDMANN

Publication number: 20220339359Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller which is in contact with the ramp track and which is mounted rotatably in a driver. The driver can be connected to the piston rod via a joint. In a tensioning procedure, the ramp track is rotated such that the roller runs on the region of inclination as far as the second plateau and the piston is thereby moved to its rear end position. In a dispensing procedure, the ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and, on account of the tensioning, is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward the an dispensing end.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Daniel SEEH, Robin SAUTER, Maikel WIEDMANN, Anika SCHMIDT

Publication number: 20220313922Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston displaceable in the cylinder and connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. The tensioning device includes a ramp rotatable via a motor, and a ramp track extending along a helical line. The tensioning device includes a roller which is in contact with the ramp track. To perform a tensioning procedure, the ramp track is rotated such that the roller runs on the region of inclination as far as the second plateau so the piston is moved to its rear end position. To perform a dispensing procedure, the ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau, thereby the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. A control unit determines whether the tensioning procedure and/or dispensing procedure has taken place correctly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Robin SAUTER, Maikel WIEDMANN, Daniel SEEH, Anika SCHMIDT

The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller which is in contact with the ramp track and which is mounted rotatably in a driver. In a tensioning procedure, the ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and, on account of the tensioning, is accelerated toward the first plateau. As a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The administering device can be configured with one cylinder, one piston and one piston rod. The tensioning device can include two helical screws which run parallel to each other and which both, when the piston is in its rear end position, contribute to the pretensioning which is present.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Daniel SEEH, Robin SAUTER, Maikel WIEDMANN, Anika SCHMIDT

Publication number: 20220305205Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. In a dispensing procedure a ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. A motor is connected to the ramp via a coupling. To rotate the ramp, the coupling transmits torque provided by the motor in the first rotation direction and, in the process, provides a freewheel counter to the first rotation direction. The freewheel is configured such that it covers at least a rotation angle range which corresponds to the transfer region.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Daniel SEEH, Robin SAUTER, Maikel WIEDMANN, Anika SCHMIDT

Publication number: 20220296815Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. In a dispensing procedure, a ramp track is rotated until a roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The ramp track runs on the face side of a wall extending along a circular path. A cover engages over the ramp track, the driver and the roller and has at least one scraper extending counter to the first direction and extending within the wall as far as the inner side of the wall, and thus scrapes off lubricant located on the inner side from the inner side.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Maikel WIEDMANN, Robin SAUTER, Daniel SEEH, Anika SCHMIDT

Publication number: 20220193345Abstract: A device for administering a fluid, wherein, with the valve opened, fluid that is to be administered can be brought through the feed channel into the cylinder, and wherein a movement of the piston counter to the first direction towards the open dispensing end generates a positive pressure in the cylinder, such that, with the first valve opened, the fluid that is to be administered from the cylinder is dispensed via the open dispensing end, wherein, in order to seal the rear end of the cylinder, a first sealing element is arranged between the piston and the cylinder and a second sealing element is arranged spaced apart from the first sealing element along the first direction. The first sealing element can be a single-acting sealing element, and the second sealing element can be a single-acting or double-acting sealing element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Frank ALTERMANN, Daniel SEEH

Patent number: 9146576Abstract: A rotation mechanism (rotating device) that can be easily accessed by the surgeon's finger to rotate an endoscope or similar instrument. The rotation mechanism is a device/component with a “starfish” configuration, which can be attached to the endoscope/arthroscope just distal to the eyepiece (or to an alternate attachment to a camera). The starfish component has a plurality of projections that extend radially from the endoscope axis, and beyond the diameter of the mechanism on the camera head that grasps the arthroscope eyecup. The projections can be easily accessed by the surgeon's finger to rotate the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: ARTHREX, INC.Inventors: Reinhold Schmieding, Craig Speier, Martin A.
