Patent number: 11839409Abstract: A bone plate for reconstruction or trauma treatment of a bone which comprises first and second ends, a first contact surface for contacting and securing on a first region of the bone, and a plurality of receiving mechanism each having at least one opening for receiving at least one securing element. At least two adjacent wings extend at least from the first end of the main section, each has a second contact surface for contacting and securing to a second region of the bone, as well as at least one receiving mechanism having at least one opening for each receiving a securing element. A minimum bending stiffness of the main section, in relation to an axis (x) running perpendicular to the first contact surface, is greater than the minimum bending stiffnesses of the wings, but smaller than the total minimum bending stiffness of all wings extending from the first end.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: MEDARTIS HOLDING AGInventors: Dirk Thiel, Andreas Mullis, Jürgen Schonhardt, Hermann Zeuner, Simon Martin Schätzle

Publication number: 20230218361Abstract: The invention relates to supports (1) for receiving a surgical implant, in particular a bone plate (2), containing an implant receptacle (3), the implant receptacle (3) being of substantially elongate form along a longitudinal axis (4) and having a first part (5) and a second part (6), the first part (5) having a shaft (7) for receiving the surgical implant (2) at a recess (13) of the implant (2), the second part (6) having a first fastening portion (8) for fastening to a holding portion (9) of a container (114). The support (1) furthermore contains at least one elastic element (10), in particular a spring, for securing the implant, which is designed to secure an implant, which is held on the implant receptacle (3), by a force component substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (4). Also disclosed are supports (100) for receiving at least one surgical item, in particular an implant, in particular a screw (101).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Raphael PFEFFERLE, Stefan BRAND, Philippe Robert KERN, Marco Andreas MÜLLER, Nikolaus POCHLATKO, Jürgen SCHONHARDT, Seline STEFFANONI, Hermann ZEUNER

Publication number: 20230103083Abstract: The invention relates to a screw (1), preferably a bone screw, comprising a shaft (2) with a tip (3), a head (4) and a thread (5). The shaft further comprises a longitudinal axis (A). An array of radial cross-sectional surfaces (Q) of the head (4) extend through the longitudinal axis (A) of the screw (1), the location of each radial cross-sectional surface (Q) being defined by an azimuth angle (6) in a plane (E) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A). Each radial cross-sectional area (Q) has an area defined by the longitudinal axis (A) and the outer surface of the screw (8). The thread (5) extends into the head (4) in such a way that the surface areas of the radial cross-sectional surfaces (Q?) in a first azimuth angle range (9) are constant and the surface areas of the radial cross-sectional surfaces (Q?) in a second azimuth angle range (10), which is different from the first, have a different, preferably smaller, value than the surface areas in the first azimuth angle range (9).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Andreas MULLIS, Dirk THIEL, Patrick Markus SESIANI, Stefan Olivier WÜRGER, Jürgen SCHONHARDT, Hermann ZEUNER

Patent number: 10756326Abstract: An electrical energy source for an electrically drivable tool containing: a main body, which extends along a longitudinal axis, having a first end and a second end lying opposite the first end with respect to the longitudinal axis; at least one first electrical terminal, which extends away from the first end and has a first diameter; and at least one second electrical terminal, which extends away from the second end and has a second diameter. A voltage is present between the first and second terminals. The first diameter is different from the second diameter. The first electrical terminal extends away from the first end, and the second electrical terminal extends away from the second end of the main body. A tool kit having at least one electrically drivable tool and having at least one electrical energy source and a method for inserting an energy source into an electrically drivable tool.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: MEDARTIS HOLDING AGInventors: Andreas Mullis, Hermann Zeuner, Jürgen Schonhardt, Micha Huber

Patent number: 9554837Abstract: A fixation device is used to fix an elongate element, in particular a wire, in an opening of a retaining structure, in particular of an implant plate. The fixation device has a main body. The main body is provided with a bore for receiving the elongate element. The main body is radially deformable in a clamp area, such that the diameter of the bore can be reduced. The main body has an outer contour which is designed in such a way that, when the fixation device is inserted into the opening of the retaining structure, the clamp area is deformed such that the elongate element is clamped securely in the bore.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Medartis AGInventors: Jürgen Schonhardt, Thomas Tribelhorn, Hermann Zeuner, Joanna Norström
