  • Publication number: 20260263191
    Abstract: A device for tooth extraction has a base element with a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, and a pulling carriage moveable relative to the base element. The pulling carriage has a distal end and a proximal end. The device includes a pulling element having a first end and a second end. A first fastening device for fastening to the tooth or a fastening body fastened to the tooth is arranged at the first end, and a second fastening device for fastening to the pulling carriage is arranged at the second end. The pulling element is guided via a deflection part arranged on the base element. A tensioning device generating tensile force is arranged on the pulling carriage and can be actuated by means of an actuating element. The second fastening device has a partially spherical element with a diameter greater than that of the pulling element.

  • Publication number: 20260215803
    Abstract: A ring punch for harvesting mucosal grafts with an outer cylindrical sleeve having an outer wall, a first outer end, a second outer end, a first longitudinal axis and a first inner diameter and an inner cylindrical sleeve with an inner wall, a first inner end, a second inner end, a second longitudinal axis and a second inner diameter. The inner cylindrical sleeve is arranged concentrically in the outer cylindrical sleeve. A first cutting edge is arranged on the first outer end of the outer cylindrical sleeve and a second cutting edge is arranged on the first inner end of the inner cylindrical sleeve. A radially protruding projection is spaced from the first outer end of the outer cylindrical sleeve by a distance of two to four millimeters at least in sections on an outer surface of the outer wall.

  • Publication number: 20140257354
    Abstract: A scalpel holder, having a grip piece with a longitudinal direction and a blade holder which is connected to the grip piece and which functions to receive a scalpel blade and hold the same fixed, wherein the grip piece has a slider guide which runs substantially in the longitudinal direction of the grip piece for the purpose of receiving a slider, wherein the same can be movably guided in said slider guide toward the blade holder, and the slider guide is arranged on the grip piece in such a manner that the end piece, the same designed with a wedge shape, of the slider which is guided in the slider guide in the direction of the blade holder slides past the scalpel blade while lifting the same out of the blade holder.
