Patent number: 12690942Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: July 28, 2026Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Stephanie Auber, Thomas-Erwin Kahler, Uwe Schaz, Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Frederick Lenzenhuber, Ralf Pfister, Saul Dufoo Ochoa, Simone Hermle, Martin Machill, André Buerk

Publication number: 20260041439Abstract: A medical motor handpiece for driving a distal end effector includes a handle portion and a preferably sleeve-shaped operating element that is held to rotate about a handle longitudinal axis at a distal end portion of the handle portion. The operating element can be coupled to the end effector so as to transform a rotational movement of the operating element in a first direction of rotation into a movement of the end effector. In the event of a rotational movement of the operating element in a second direction of rotation, opposite the first direction of rotation, a function on the end effector can be effected. The medical motor handpiece can be a component of a medical manual instrument that has an end effector coupled to the medical motor handpiece via a shaft in order to transfer torque from the motor handpiece to the end effector.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: February 12, 2026Inventors: Andre Buerk, Thomas Hagen, Simone Hermle, Lilian Killinger, Juergen Barth, Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Uwe Schaz, Aaron Vogler

Publication number: 20250325173Abstract: A shaft of or for a medical hand instrument includes a distal shaft section having a first end face and a proximal shaft section having a second end face. The first end face and second end face face one another. At least one of the end faces is set at an angle of incidence not equal to 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, so that different shaft shapes result depending on the relative rotational position of the two shaft sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: October 23, 2025Inventors: Thomas Hagen, Simone Hermle, Ralf Pfister, Lukas Hahn, André Buerk

Patent number: 12440226Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 14, 2025Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Roland-Alois Hoegerle, André Buerk, Uwe Schaz, Martin Machill, Simone Hermle, Saul Dufoo Ochoa

Publication number: 20250235216Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Andre Buerk, Thomas Hagen, Simone Hermle, Lilian Killinger, Juergen Barth, Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Uwe Schaz

Publication number: 20250204931Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: June 26, 2025Inventors: Andre Buerk, Thomas Hagen, Simone Hermle, Lilian Killinger, Juergen Barth, Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Uwe Schaz

Patent number: 10590996Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignees: Aesculap AG, Rotomed AGInventors: Wolfgang Heine, Edgar Blust, Thomas Müller, Frederick Lenzenhuber, Anette Hildebrand, Simone Hermle, Uwe Mattes
