Publication number: 20180296210Abstract: A device for treating bone fractures, comprises an actuating mechanism removably coupleable to a clamping mechanism including a clamp defining a cable receiving channel extending therethrough and a compression member coupled to the clamp for movement relative thereto, movement of the compression member relative to the clamp in a first direction moving the clamping mechanism into a clamping configuration in which at least a portion of the clamp is compressed into the channel to fix a cable received therein relative to the clamping mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes a first member and a second member removably engagable with a clamping mechanism so that, when engaged, relative movement between the first and second members causes relative movement between the clamp and the compression member to move the clamping member between the clamping configuration and a release configuration, the actuating mechanism further including a tensioning mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Simon STUCKI, Guido HERTIG

Patent number: 9113969Abstract: A bone fixation system that may be configured to move at least one of a first bone segment and a second bone segment relative to the other, is disclosed. The system may include a first lever and a second lever pivotally coupled to the first lever. The first lever may include a first handle, a first jaw extending from the first handle, and an aperture extending through the first jaw. The aperture may be configured to receive a fixation element to thereby fixedly couple the first lever to a bone plate. The second lever may include a second handle, a second jaw extending from the second handle, and an aperture extending through the second jaw. The aperture may be configured to receive a temporary fixation element to operatively couple the second lever to the second bone segment.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Alfred Niederberger, Johann Fierlbeck, Alexander Hatt, Guido Hertig

Patent number: 8663299Abstract: A cable fixation device comprises a clamp including a head portion and a body portion along with a lumen extending therethrough. The head portion is removably coupleable with an actuating mechanism. The lumen is sized and shaped to slidably accommodate a cable in combination with a clamping ring including a channel extending therethrough. The channel includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is sized and shaped to slidably accommodate the cable therethrough. The second portion is sized and shaped to engage the clamp. A portion of the clamp is movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the cable slidable therethrough in the first configuration. The portion of the clamp moves radially inward in the second configuration to clamp the cable.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Depuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Simon Stucki, Guido Hertig

Patent number: 6193698Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for locking a dosing button in a device for the administration of a product to be injected in predetermined doses. This device comprises a body (1) with a housing (2) for the product, wherein a selected dose for injection is transported from said body out of a container (3) through a transport member (4). This device also comprises a drive member (5,7) for the transport member (4) as well as a dosing button (9) coupled to the drive member (5, 7) which is mounted so as to be capable of sliding within the body (1). The button ensures the transport of the selected dose when it is displaced from a first position into a second by actuating the drive member (5, 7). The dose is selected in the first position by rotating the dosing button (9) so that is can be moved from a first rotation position indicating that no transport is possible into a second rotation position.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2000Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Disetronic Licensing AGInventors: Fritz Kirchhofer, Guido Hertig
