Patent number: 8048036Abstract: A hypodermic needle assembly configured such that the movement of a needle shield into position to block the needle tip occurs as a direct consequence of a longitudinal force applied by insertion of a syringe plunger is provided. The hypodermic needle assembly according to the present invention comprises a needle, a needle hub, and a safety spring clip assembly, the safety spring clip assembly being configured to automatically launch from the needle hub and slide along the needle until the spring clip meets a needle stop at the needle tip, thus preventing the guard from being removed from the needle shaft. A method of using the hypodermic needle assembly according to the present invention is also provided, which includes the method of launching the spring clip with a syringe having multiple advancing mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: B. Braun Melsungen AGInventors: Kevin Woehr, Helmut Freigang, Juergen Fuchs, Juergen Reuter, Klaus Siemon, Joerg Wende, Frank Hilberg

Publication number: 20020065563Abstract: The bladder consists of two chambers of self-restoring elastic material. A check valve is provided between both chambers that is biased in the flow direction and allows liquid to pass only when the differential pressure exceeds a certain limit value. The liquid from the kidney first reaches the first chamber, and after a certain amount of liquid has accumulated there, the liquid flows through the valve into the second chamber. The chambers are arranged in an eight-shaped configuration. The bladder has a flat design and allows for an advantageous anatomic adaptation to the implantation area between ribs and ala of the ilium. Further, a suction pressure is obtained that is relatively uniform in regard of the filling level.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2000Publication date: May 30, 2002Inventors: Roland Gerlach, Josef Hannappel, Juergen Reuter, Dorothea Rohrmann

Patent number: 6384538Abstract: Control apparatus for a light unit for vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, includes an electronic control unit for controlling the light unit, with the control unit having an I/O interface for connecting to a plurality of control and/or switching devices assigned to the light unit. The electronic control unit is arranged in a rectangularly-shaped housing which is detachably mounted in a receptacle of the light unit. A first contacting device is provided on a first side of the electronic control unit for connecting the electronic control unit to a number of electric components integrated into the light unit, and in addition a second contacting device is provided on a second side for connecting the electronic control unit to a number of additional electric components arranged near the light unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Hella KG Hueck & Co.Inventors: Petrik Lange, Wilhelm Mertens, Frank Passgang, Juergen Reuter

Patent number: 6350285Abstract: The implant holder comprises a screen (21) comprising on one side a tissue-compatible fibre material (25) to which the body cells grow and on the other side a smooth contact surface (23) for the implant (10). A holding fixture (26) retains the implant (10) to the screen (21). The implant holder prevents the body tissue from directly growing to the implant, which would make exchange of the implant (10) more difficult. To exchange the implant the skin (16) of the patient is cut open and the holding fixture (26) is opened. The implant holder remains in the body while the implant (10) is exchanged.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: CareMed Medical Produkte AGInventors: Roland Gerlach, Josef Hannappel, Juergen Reuter, Dorothea Rohrmann

Patent number: 6197005Abstract: The check valve comprises an inlet duct (31) , an outlet duct (32) and a valve chamber (34) arranged between them. The valve chamber (34) is permanently connected with the inlet duct (31) via openings (35). On a blind duct (33) a valve member (36) is mounted which is made up of a flexible inherently stable hose. The valve member (36) extends into the outlet duct (32) and contacts the inner surface of the outlet duct. At a pressure exceeding the opening pressure of the valve the valve member (36) is lifted off the inner surface of the outlet duct (32).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: CareMed Medical Produkte AGInventors: Roland Gerlach, Josef Hannappel, Juergen Reuter, Dorothea Rohrmann
