Abstract: The present invention relates to a head-clamping device for surgical purposes, specifically for intra-operatively fixing the patient's head in any anatomically possible position, the center of rotation of the head clamp being in the cervical vertebral region of the patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high speed motor for the surgical treatment of bones and microtrepanation, comprising a motor housing 1, 1a and a receiving case 7 for a cutting pin 8, wherein the receiving case 7 is provided with a detachable locking mechanism 9. The motor housing (1, 1a) has an integral and angular construction and is provided with a rest part (4) in the front portion thereof for the user to lay down his fingers.

Abstract: A clamp for clamping blood vessels or aneurysms has a pair of operational arms and a corresponding pair of hemostatic ends for engaging a blood vessel or aneurysm. The operating arms are attached to each other, without pivot mounting, with a coil spring having at least one winding, by fixedly connecting each end of the coil spring to a different one of the operational arms. The coil spring biases the clamp so that the hemostatic ends of the clamp are opened when the operating arms of the clamp are moved apart from each other. In this manner, visual obstruction of the hemostatic ends of the clamp is significantly reduced during a clamping procedure, and the cost of manufacture of the clamp is reduced by elimination of pivot mounting of the clamp arms.

Abstract: A clamp for pinching off a blood vessel or aneurysm comprises a pair of arms pivotally attached at the center and crossing over one another so that opposing hemostatic ends at one end of the arms are open by opening the operational ends at the other ends of the arms, the operational ends of the clamp being grasped by an applying instrument through buttons or recesses on an inwardly directed portion of the operational ends to reduce visual obstruction in the area in which the clamp is used.

Abstract: A surgical clamp for the clamping of small blood vessels is formed of a piece of spring material and has two jaw sections urged against each other by the spring action of the material. The jaw sections include opposing parts which progressively increase in resiliency in opposite directions so that the total clamping force is essentially constant along the length of the jaw.

Abstract: A cannula comprises a body having a longitudinal aperture for receiving a catheter. A sealing strip formed of flexible plastic is removably disposed within the longitudinal axis to seal around the catheter. A container is removably connected to the body so as to be in fluid communication with the aperture.
