Patent number: 9839463Abstract: A system for bending a surgical device is disclosed in which the system may include a bending apparatus having a housing with a series of posts received therein. In some embodiments, one of the series of posts may be selectively movable within an elongate slot in the housing, while another of the series of posts may be circumferentially movable. Movement of the circumferentially movable post may serve to bend a surgical device about at least one of the other remaining posts. A tool may also be provided with the system for interacting with a lever and causing the circumferentially movable post to move circumferentially. An alternate apparatus for bending a surgical device is also disclosed, as are methods of bending a surgical device using the aforementioned system.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Stryker European Holdings I, LLCInventors: Robert Dominik, Jan Heinsohn, Gennaro A.

Patent number: 9050135Abstract: A fixation clamp, more particularly for use in an external fixation system for holding bone fragments adjacent to each other with the help of fixation elements, has at least one clamping assembly having at least one reception opening to accommodate a fixation element along the longitudinal axis of the reception opening. At least one locking element extends through the clamping assembly which locking element provides a clamping force to clamp the fixation element upon tensioning the locking element. The fixation clamp further comprises an actuation element which is in connection with the locking element such that the locking element is actuateable by the actuation element, and the actuation element is designed such that it is detachable from the locking element after use and that remounting onto the locking element is prevented after having detached the actuation element from the locking element.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Stryker Trauma SAInventors: Robert Dominik, Adam Busch, Klaus Dorawa

Patent number: 8894648Abstract: A surgical clamping device is provided for receiving distal ends of handles having bone attachment members disposed thereon in a recess disposed in the surgical clamping device. When an adjustment mechanism is in a first state, the distal ends of the handles are able to pivot and, optionally, to move axially within the recess of the surgical clamping device. When the adjustment mechanism is placed into a second state by adjusting the adjusting mechanism, the surgical clamping device applies a clamping force to the distal ends of the handles such that they are fixed within the recess of the surgical clamping device.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Stryker Trauma SAInventors: Robert Dominik, This Aebi

Patent number: 8701955Abstract: A tool for breaking a shaft has a first and a second tubular element, both provided with inner through bores adapted to receive a shaft in the tool. A first handle is fixedly connected with the first tubular element and the second tubular element is connected to a second handle. A bottom surface of the second tubular element forms a shearing plane with a neck surface of the first tubular element. A rotation between the two tubular elements shears the shaft at the shearing plane. The second handle turns the first tubular element around an axis and has a gear engaging the second tubular element for transmitting the rotation of the second handle into a rotation of the second tubular element. The drive element is mounted offset, in a direction of the longitudinal axis, from the gear.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Stryker Trauma SAInventors: This Aebi, Robert Dominik

Publication number: 20140066994Abstract: A system for bending a surgical device is disclosed in which the system may include a bending apparatus having a housing with a series of posts received therein. In some embodiments, one of the series of posts may be selectively movable within an elongate slot in the housing, while another of the series of posts may be radially movable. Movement of the radially movable post may serve to bend a surgical device about at least one of the other remaining posts. A tool may also be provided with the system for interacting with a lever and causing the radially movable post to move radially. An alternate apparatus for bending a surgical device is also disclosed, as are methods of bending a surgical device using the aforementioned system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: STRYKER TRAUMA AGInventors: Robert Dominik, Jan Heinsohn, Gennaro A.

Publication number: 20110062204Abstract: A tool for breaking a shaft has a first and a second tubular element, both provided with inner through bores adapted to receive a first and second portion of a shaft in a first position of the tool. A first handle is fixedly connected with the first tubular element and the second tubular element is connected to a second handle. A bottom surface of the second tubular element is in contact with a neck surface of the first tubular element forming a shearing plane perpendicular to the main axis of the tool. A rotation between the two tubular elements around this axis creates a twisting movement of the two shaft portions received within the two tubular elements, and shears the shaft portions at the shearing plane. The second handle turns the first tubular element around an axis and has a gear engaging the second tubular element for transmitting the rotation of the second handle into a rotation of the second tubular element for producing the twisting movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: STRYKER TRAUMA SAInventors: This Aebi, Robert Dominik
