Abstract: A registration device for the registration of facial topographic parameters is disclosed. The device comprises a base member, wherein the base member comprises a transverse section. The transverse section, in a central section thereof, comprises a coupling for rotationally immobile coupling to a referencing member. The base member further comprises two occlusal plane indicators extending in a posterior direction from the transverse section and is rotationally immobile connected to the transverse section. The occlusal plane indicators extend in a common plane. Two mandibular condyle indicator pointers are linked to the base member in a mobile linkage relationship allowing displacement of each mandibular condyle indicator pointer relative to the base member in a respective sagittal plane. A tragus indicator is pivotably coupled to each mandibular condyle indicator pointer. A method for using said device is further disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical probe has a housing (10) extending along a longitudinal extent from a proximal end to a distal end. A longitudinal cavity (14) is provided inside the housing and extends along a proximal-distal direction inside the housing, the cavity being open at a proximal front face and being closed at a distal front face. The housing includes an aperture (11) provided in a distal region of the housing and through which the longitudinal cavity is in communication with the exterior of the housing at a circumferential position of the housing, such that the longitudinal cavity (14) is open at a circumferential position through the aperture (11). A blade (31) has a cutting edge (311) and an actuation transmission mechanism (32) inside the housing and in the longitudinal cavity, and the blade (31) is disposed distal of the actuation transmission mechanism (32).
