  • Publication number: 20250235216
    Abstract: A medical tool system includes a tool holder formed in a distal instrument portion adjoined by a proximal instrument portion. The proximal instrument portion is bendable relative to the distal instrument portion. A tool can be accommodated in the tool holder and pivoted relative to the tool holder. A first coupling device is arranged in the distal instrument portion. A second coupling device is arranged on the tool. In a coupling state, the second coupling device realizes a coupling between the tool and the distal shaft portion by operative engagement with the first coupling device to fix the tool in the distal shaft portion in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20250204931
    Abstract: A surgical tool is adapted to be inserted into an instrument shaft of a surgical instrument. The tool includes a distal tool tip, a tool shaft extending from the distal tool tip in a proximal direction and having a distal bearing portion as well as a drive portion arranged proximally to the distal bearing portion. The drive portion is formed for positive engagement with a drive shaft of the surgical instrument. A bearing bush is mounted on the distal bearing portion and has a bearing coupling element for releasable coupling with an instrument shaft of the surgical instrument.

  • Publication number: 20240164867
    Abstract: A medical sterile goods container and a device setup for documenting a content and a location of the sterile goods container. The device setup includes the sterile goods container, a transport or storage device, and a holding device insertable into the sterile goods container. The sterile goods container has at least one first identification element that is identifiable by an identifier and able to be read digitally. The first identification element is located on an outside of the sterile goods container. The sterile goods container also has at least one second identification element that is identifiable by an identifier and able to be read digitally. The second identification element is located on an inside of the sterile goods container, with the identifier of the first identification element of the sterile goods container corresponding to the identifier of the second identification element of the sterile goods container.

  • Publication number: 20230218307
    Abstract: A medical device, a cooling-fluid/rinsing-fluid hose, and a method for using a medical device. The medical device includes a handpiece with an interior enclosed by a handpiece housing, preferably for receiving a drive. The medical device also has an effector arranged on or coupleable to the handpiece and a supply device for supplying cooling fluid and/or rinsing fluid to the effector. The supply device includes a guide tube or guide cannula that passes through the interior in the handpiece longitudinal direction and is rigidly connected to the handpiece. The guide tube or guide cannula, which opens to the outside in a distal and in a proximal handpiece region, longitudinally guides a preferably single-use cooling-fluid/rinsing-fluid hose that is pushed into the guide tube.

  • Patent number: 10590996
    Abstract: A medical handle for pneumatically or hydraulically driven medical instruments or motor units includes a clutch member for mechanical and pneumatic/hydraulic coupling of a corresponding clutch member and a manually operable valve mechanism for selective pressurization of a medical instrument coupled thereto or the motor unit thereof, the valve mechanism being provided with a safety device for preventing pressurization in the case of an uncoupled medical instrument or the motor unit thereof. The clutch member present on the side of the handle is provided to interact with the valve mechanism such that during or by the mechanical coupling operation the latter is automatically opened and/or enabled for manual opening, whereas in the uncoupled state the valve mechanism is closed and/or enabling is cancelled.
