Abstract: The invention concerns a surgical drill bit able to be connected to a surgical tool, comprising a flexible stem. The invention also concerns a corresponding method to produce the surgical drill bit.

Abstract: A milling device for surgery, in particular prosthetic surgery, comprising a handling body containing a transmission unit terminating in attachment portions and with which there is rotatably associated a cutter, said device comprising hooking means of the releasable type associated with a distal attachment portion of said attachment portions.

Abstract: An automated laser cutting station for the production of semi-finished components for prosthetic surgery instruments able, in use, to carry out tissue removal processes. Said automated station comprises at least a first automated operator, a laser cutting apparatus, and a control unit. The present invention also relates to a relative method for the production of such a semi-finished component, and to the semi-finished component thus obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated punching station for the production of punched components for prosthetic surgery instruments, in particular for instruments able to mill/cut or otherwise carry out tissue removal processes in preparation for, or in the context of, prosthetic surgery operations. The invention also concerns a method to produce said punched components, and a punched component thus obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a robotic working line for the production of cutting bodies for prosthetic surgery instruments, in particular cutting bodies able to milling/cutting or otherwise carrying out tissue removal processes in preparation for, or in the context of, prosthetic surgery interventions, in this case in the orthopaedic field, such as acetabular cutters, patellar cutters, glenoid cutters, rasps, broaches or similar tools, starting from hollow untreated components having at least one external surface and one opposing internal surface. The invention also relates to a working method for the production of cutting bodies for prosthetic surgery instruments and to a cutting body made by means of a robotic working line and in accordance with the method according to the invention.

Abstract: A milling head for a milling tool for prosthetic surgery operations and a milling tool comprising said milling head.

Abstract: A milling head for a milling tool for prosthetic surgery operations and a milling tool comprising said milling head.

Abstract: A multifunction device for prosthetic surgery able to be converted from a milling configuration, to be used as a milling device for hip prosthetic surgery, to a positioning configuration, to be used as a positioning device to position an acetabular cup of a hip prosthesis.

Abstract: Prosthetic element including a metal cap having inside an acetabular seating and method to make it. At least part of the cap is a lattice having open and intercommunicating cavities. At least part of the lattice is formed, without a continuity break, by geometric meshes of polygonal shape repeated in space over all or part of the body, having a cellular geometry with elementary cells open and contiguous, to define a plurality of polygons with spatial development delimiting the cavities. Each geometric mesh has a first polygonal part with four sides, each of the sides being an angled segment, and a second part being an angled segment and a third part being an angled segment. Each angled segment has first and second consecutive rectilinear segments forming an angle at an intersection of each pair of its first and the second consecutive segments. The first polygonal part has non co-planar vertexes.

Abstract: An insert for an acetabular cup includes an insertion body having an external surface shaped to be able to be coupled with a mating seating of the acetabular cup. The insert includes at least a friction element positioned on the external surface to determine a predefined friction with the surface of the seating, so that, during use, the friction element prevents the relative rotation of the insertion body and the acetabular cup.

Abstract: A prosthetic element including a cap made of metal material. At least part of the cap is a lattice that makes a plurality of open and intercommunicating cavities.

Abstract: Femoral prosthesis for the articulation of a femur (11) in a corresponding acetabular seating (13) of a hip, comprising at least a femoral head (12) of a hemispherical shape, which is inserted into the acetabular seating (13), and pin means (18) which are engaged and clamped in a top portion (21) of the femur (11). The femoral head (12) is a distinct and removable component with respect to the pin means (18) and the pin means (18) are provided with, or are associated with, coupling means (15, 115) which are inserted into a mating seating (14) of the femoral head (12) in order to obtain a removable constraint between the latter and the pin means (18).

Abstract: A hinge is provided between bodywork and a door of a motor vehicle. A stationary bracket is fixed to an upright of the bodywork and includes a base with a hole. A movable bracket is fixed to the door and a pin connects the stationary and movable brackets. A torsion bar has a wheel/cam follower for engagement with a cam on a connection element. The stationary bracket, torsion bar, cam follower and connection element comprise a sub-assembly and the cam and cam follower are located intermediate the height of the hinge. The movable bracket includes a boss with an opening. Upon linear movement in a direction parallel to the hinge axis, the boss may be disposed about the pin with a connection element and movable bracket cooperable to prevent relative rotation therebetween whereby accurate assembly is achieved.
