  • Patent number: 11370071
    Abstract: A joining method for a medical device, in particular a surgical instrument or implant, with a shaft and an attachment to be secured on the shaft, the method having the following steps: heating the attachment or cooling the shaft, such that an internal diameter of an opening of the heated attachment is greater than an external diameter of the shaft, then placing the shaft into the opening of the attachment, and then cooling the attachment, so as to shrink the attachment onto the shaft in a manner substantially free of gaps, or heating the shaft, such that the shaft and the opening are connected by an interference fit. A corresponding medical device is produced by the joining method.

  • Publication number: 20190151003
    Abstract: A bone implant includes a shank for arrangement in a bone and a head arranged proximally on the shank and having a tool receiver for an implantation tool. The shank has a longitudinal axis. A continuous injection channel for injection of bone connection material is formed in the shank and has a proximal inlet opening for bone connection material on the side of the tool receiver. The wall of the shank surrounding the injection channel has a radial offset with respect to the longitudinal axis on the side of the proximal inlet opening. An implantation instrument for a bone implant includes an injection cannula having an inner channel having a longitudinal axis for injection of bone connection material. The inner channel has a distal outlet opening for bone connection material. A wall of the injection cannula surrounding the inner channel has a radial offset with respect to the longitudinal axis.
