  • External self-retaining and stressed fixator for fixing large tubular bones
    Patent number: 5556398
    Abstract: A disposable external fixator includes a rod and pins insertable therethrough and insertable into a fractured bone for fixation. The rod includes equidistantly spaced and aligned bores and ends provided with threads. The diameter of the bores is larger than the diameter of the pins. The fixator also includes two stretching tubes of relatively soft material slidably mountable onto the ends of the rod and having bores corresponding to the bores of the rod. Internally threaded closing pieces are screwable onto the threaded ends of the rod to axially displace the stretching tubes relative to the rod.

  • Disposable approximator for approaching nerve-endings in particular for facilitating sewing and replacement of injured nerves
    Patent number: 5464414
    Abstract: Disposable approximator for approaching nerve-endings particularly to facilitate sewing and replacement of injured nerves. The disposable approximator according to the invention comprises surgical metal hooks (3) known in the artwork.

One surface thereof is designed with a structural formation allowing unidirectional displacement. At the end of the sliding leg (1) lying in direction of motion a fixed carrier-console (2) is arranged, into which one or more surgical metal hooks (3) are built-in that their ends are facing the direction of motion. Onto the sliding leg (1) a slide (4) is arranged, movable towards the fixed carrier-console (2), with a clearance enabling displacement. One or more surgical hooks (3) are built-in into the slide (4) so that their ends are facing the fixed carrier-console (2).
