  • Patent number: 10080595
    Abstract: A device for bone fixation comprises an expansion part and a covering part. The expansion part has a fixing end and a top end and provides an expansion structure for being adjustable between a state of expansion and contraction. The covering part has a front end and a joining end, wherein the front end thereof is joined to the top end of the expansion part, and the joining end thereof is attached to the fixing end of the expansion part. The covering part is employed to cover the expansion structure. After the expansion part and the covering part are added to the bone, the covering part is unfurled to spread to the expansion state, and the medical filler is injected or pushed into the covering part.

  • Publication number: 20150112351
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device for bone fixation that includes: an expanding unit and an enclosing unit. The expanding unit includes two or more expanding structures capable of switching between an expanded state and a contracted state. The expanding unit includes a first expanding structure located near a first end thereof and a second expanding structure located near a second end thereof. The enclosing unit encloses the expanding unit and has a first end and a second end. The first end of the enclosing unit is secured at the first end of the expanding unit, and the second end of the enclosing unit is secured at the second end of the expanding unit. When the device for bone fixation is placed inside a bone, the expanding structures of the expanding unit are switched to the expanding state and thereby propping up the enclosing unit.
