Patent number: 12376940Abstract: A holding device for holding and supporting at least one medical instrument, more specifically a surgical handpiece. The holding device includes a central feedline, at least one line portion of which is connected to the end portion of a central feedline. At least one surgical handpiece can be coupled to the line portion. The holding device also includes a connector portion formed on another end portion of the central feedline. The connector portion can be coupled to a preliminary cleaning unit, more specifically a water/compressed air gun, and a cleaning unit, more specifically a filter unit connected to a rinsing line.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Ralf Pfister, Simon Miller, André Buerk, Martin Machill, Edgar Blust, Manuel Roth, Stephanie Auber

Patent number: 12186142Abstract: A protective housing for accommodating a transponder receivable therein in a medical device. The medical device can be a surgical instrument and/or medical device in a sterilization circuit. The protective housing has at least two integrated snap-in noses on two opposite sides of the protective housing. The snap-in noses are diagonally opposite to each other and formed so as to snap into notches within the medical device in an undercutting manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Ralf Pfister, Frederick Lenzenhuber, Stephanie Auber, Roland-Alois Hoegerle

Patent number: 12036048Abstract: A holding apparatus for holding a sterilizable medical product and for storing the medical product before and/or after the cleaning process, and a product monitoring system featuring such a holding apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a data processing device connectable to at least one sensor in a signal-conducting manner. The sensor is a temperature sensor for determining a temperature during the cleaning process and/or a pressure sensor for determining a static and/or dynamic pressure of a cleaning fluid during the cleaning process. The data processing device processes the sensor signals to form cleaning information and is connectable to a memory apparatus in a data-conducting manner, on which memory apparatus the cleaning information is storable. The cleaning information is retrievable or readable from the memory apparatus by an evaluation device such that a cleaning profile of the medical product can be determined based on the cleaning information.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Roland-Alois Högerle, Stephanie Auber

Publication number: 20240164867Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: 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: 20230372057Abstract: A modular detection system for insertion in a strainer basket for detecting, monitoring and tracing sterile material in a sterilization circuit. The modular detection system includes a strainer basket insert which can be inserted directly in the strainer basket or arranged on a base plate. The system further includes the following individually and optionally electrically coupleable modules: a central electronic unit, a defined or freely selectable number of slots for attaching and/or connecting a predetermined number of retainer systems for retaining sterile material, each retainer system having at least one antenna system for reading a transponder in the sterile material. The system further includes a preferably defined number of conductor tracks to electrically connect the slots and/or retaining systems to one another and/or to the central electronic unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Frederick Lenzenhuber, Lukas Boehler, Daniol Mateusz, Roland-Alois Hoegerle, Stephanie Auber, Ralf Pfister

Patent number: 10595883Abstract: A coil former for an electric motor, in particular a high-speed surgical motor, in which a rotor is surrounded concentrically by the substantially hollow-cylindrical coil former, carries at least one stator winding. To ensure that as narrow an air gap as possible is permanently maintained between the coil former, which is preferably produced using an injection-molding method often with complex shaping, and a rotor, which runs in the coil former, the coil former is formed either by a non-conductive fully ceramic body, or is in the form of a composite body in which at least one dimension-stabilizing frame element is embedded by injection-molding with plastic in a plastic body which is preferably produced by injection molding.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Thomas Kahler, Jürgen Barth, Stephanie Auber, Roland-Alois Högerle
