Publication number: 20230039773Abstract: An implant (1) for the treatment of arteriovenous deformities, in particular aneurysms (2). In an expanded state the implant has a basic body (6) comprising of a proximal and a distal segment (7, 8), with the proximal and the distal segment (7, 8) being of dome-shaped configuration, with the convex side of the dome of the proximal segment (7) facing in the proximal direction and the convex side of the dome of the distal segment (8) facing in the distal direction, and wherein the proximal and the distal segment (7, 8) are connected to each other via a plurality of connecting struts (9). Alternatively, the implant (1) may have the shape of a closed tulip blossom. The inventive implant (1) is able to adapt well to the shape of the respective aneurysm (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: femtos GmbHInventors: Hermann MONSTADT, Ralf HANNES, Hans HENKES, Volker TRÖSKEN, Ronald KONTEK, Dennis HERKLOTZ, Dennis GERMEROTH

Publication number: 20220330947Abstract: An implant (1) for the treatment of aneurysms (11), wherein the implant (1) has an elongated configuration navigable via a microcatheter (12) and a secondary configuration which it assumes upon release from the microcatheter (12). The implant (1) forms an open, unrolled structure (2) extending from proximal to distal, said implant being built up of a plurality of struts (3) forming adjacent cells (4), and with at least a part of said cells (4) being provided with membranes (6) filling the cells (4), and with the secondary structure comprising an at least partial rolling up of the open, unrolled structure (2) axially and radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the implant (1) and resulting in the formation of a spherical structure. The implant (1) proposed by the invention is suitable to adapt to the inner wall of an aneurysm (11) and to fill an aneurysm (11) almost completely.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: femtos GmbHInventors: Hans HENKES, Hermann MONSTADT, Ralf HANNES, Volker TRÖSKEN, Cameron MENZIES, Ronald KONTEK

Patent number: 11426293Abstract: A medical having a proximal and a distal end, that is preformed to assume a superimposed structure at an implantation site but can be made to take on a volume-reduced form making it possible to introduce it by means of a micro-catheter and a guide wire arranged at the proximal end, with the implant in its superimposed structure assuming the form of a longitudinally open tube and having a mesh structure of interconnected strings or filaments. The implant has a tapering structure at its proximal end where the strings or filaments converge at a connection point.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: USSC MEDICAL GMBHInventors: Hans Henkes, Achim Flesser, Ronald Kontek, Jürgen Speder, Ralph Bodenburg

Publication number: 20090204120Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the application of bone cement, in particular in the field of vertebroplasty, comprising an application conduit (1) guiding the bone cement towards the application area and a flexible piston rod (2) longitudinally movable in the application conduit (1) and provided with a piston (3) arranged at the distal end of the rod (2), said piston being in contact with and providing a seal at the internal wall of the application conduit (1), with the piston rod (2) protruding proximally from said application conduit (1) and the application conduit (1), at least partially, being formed into one or several windings (5). A spirally or helically wound application conduit (1) results in the effective useful length of the application conduit (1) being relatively great with the overall dimensions of the application device on the other hand still being moderate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2006Publication date: August 13, 2009Applicant: AMEDO GMBHInventors: Volker Trösken, Martin Deli, Jürgen Speder, Katja Gonschorek, Ronald Kontek, Marion Denk, Dietrich Grönemeyer

Publication number: 20050079196Abstract: The invention concerns a medical implant in the form of at least an elongated filament. The latter is preformed so as to have a specific structure when it is set on the implantation site. Said filament is traversed in the longitudinal direction by at least a removable retaining element which, until its removal, prevents the filament from having said specific structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2002Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Hans Henkes, Hermann Monstadt, Jurgen Speder, Ronald Kontek
