Patent number: 9480487Abstract: A lateral light-emitting device for connecting a medullary guide wire is disclosed. The device comprises a closed main body, a front-end protecting unit for protecting the front end of the main body, and a connecting unit disposed at the distal end of the main body. The inside of the main body is further arranged with a lighting unit, a power supply unit, a light-scattering unit, a light intensity modulating unit, if necessary, and at least one transparent window. The device is able to fit to different types of medullary guide wires. The power supply unit provides power to the lighting unit to produce light emitted to the light-scattering unit and being diverted laterally through the transparent window of the main body after suitably modulating the light intensity. Thereby, the device is illuminated from within the bone cavity to allow observing the operating screw hole location from outside of the body and to enable precisely nailing while proceeding with the intra-medullary nailing procedure.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL YANG-MING UNIVERSITYInventors: Woei-Chyn Chu, Yin-Jiun Tseng, William Chu

Publication number: 20110071430Abstract: A biopsy device includes an acquiring element and a fixation element. The acquiring element has a drill, a sleeve and a handle. The sleeve has first screw threads formed on an outer periphery thereon and is covered on a part of one end of drill. The fixation element has a stylet and a trocar. The stylet has a through hole, and second screw threads are formed on an inner periphery of the through hole. The second screw threads of the through hole are engaged with the first screw threads of the sleeve. The trocar is connected with the through hole for receiving the drill. When the handle is rotated by a force, the acquiring element is moved in the through hole and the torcar relative to the fixation element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2009Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: NATIONAL YANG MING UNIVERSITYInventors: Woei-Chyn CHU, Wen-Cheng CHU
