  • Publication number: 20100268286
    Abstract: The invention relates to medical element and a method for securing the medical element in an implant, where the medical element has a connecting pin which is received in a receiving recess of the implant, the pin having a projection on at least one wing of a clip element and movable transversally relative to the longitudinal extension and brought into engagement with a radially outwardly facing corresponding depression in a jacket surface of the receiving recess such that the wing is subsequently secured against radial movement by hardening of a curable compound in the receiving recess.

  • Publication number: 20080280253
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for receiving a medical element in a manipulation apparatus in such a way that it can be inserted in an implant or be removed therefrom and the medical element is secured against longitudinal displacement by means of clip element, whereby a security element is introduced into the clip element such that the clip element is spread or blocked perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 7314374
    Abstract: A post-shaped element for determining the alignment of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the surrounding tissue structures, can be introduced with a receiving section (28, 26A) into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or the artificial indentation, and be affixed therein and removed again. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation.

  • Patent number: 7101183
    Abstract: An implant (1) for mounting a connection pin (17) of a medical device shows a longitudinal axis (9), a distal end (3) and a proximal end (4), from which extends a mounting recess (10) for the connection pin (17) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (9) into the inside of the implant (1). The outer generated surface of the implant (1) can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of a mounting hole in a bone of a human or animal body. The connection pin (17), which is adapted to the mounting recess (10), can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of the mounting recess (10).

  • Patent number: 6840769
    Abstract: Implant (1) for receiving the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) of a medical device, comprising a longitudinal axis (9), a distal end (3) and a proximal end (4), whereby a receiving recess (10) for the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) extends therefrom inside the implant (1), wherein the implant (1) can be connected on its outer surface area to the inner surface area of a receiving bore hole in a bone by force or adaptation, and whereby the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?), which is adapted to the receiving recess (10), can be anchored through clamping, shrinkage, adhesion or cementing. The anchored medical device rests on a contact surface (18) of the top (16) protruding radially outward in its cross-section beyond the cross-section of the receiving recess (10) on the proximal end (4) of the implant (1) across the entire surface against an allocated contact surface (5) of the implant (1) on its proximal end (4).

  • Publication number: 20030170587
    Abstract: A post-shaped element for determining the spatial position of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the tissue structures surrounding it, can be introduced with a receiving section (26A) into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or in the artificial indentation, be affixed therein to be torsion resistant and able to again be removed there-from. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or artificial indentation.
