Abstract: The luxation-proof drainage and instrument duct for the arthroscopy comprises a hollow cylinder (20) and a sleeve (30) longitudinally displaceable thereupon which are interconnected at the one end, while the sleeve (30), within the area of its connecting end, is constructed in such a way that, when the sleeve (30) is displaced towards the connection plane, a terminal area of the sleeve is outwardly expanded in a basket-like manner over the circumference of the sleeve, the basket-like expanded sleeve end being provided with a plurality of perforations (135') disposed so as to be distributed over the circumference and in side-by-side arrangement. The sleeve (30) is arrested on the hollow cylinder (20) in the expanded state of the terminal section of the sleeve (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A sterile disposable arthroscopy camera cover made from tubular film folded onto itself and forming a package including a plurality of folded layers of film. One end portion of the tubular film extends into and through the other end portion of the tubular film and in the direction of the other end so that the two tubular film ends are located at the same side of the film package. The folded layers which comprise the package may extend in the direction of the tubular film axis or transversely of the axis.

Abstract: The device for connecting a fractured bone in the femoral neck is of two-piece construction that includes a bone fastening cover plate (11) and a trochanter supporting plate (20), in which the bone fastening cover plate (11) is provided with a bone screw reception sleeve (13) assuming an angle which, below the trochanter supporting surface, is passed through a cover plate-like section connected with the trochanter supporting plate (20) which bears upon the bone fastening cover plate (11) which, as well as the cover plate-like section are provided with a number of fastening screw perforations (12) which can be brought into coincidence, in which the trochanter supporting surface is so configured as to correspond to the shape of the trochanter so that, on account of the two-piece construction, an improved adaptability to anatomical conditions by an arbitrary combination of the individual components is possible.

Abstract: For the protection of the operating surgeon and of the medical staff when treating patients and during operations against the effects of secretions and blood of patients suffering from the immune deficiency disease AIDS, the facial mask consists of a mask blank with laterally attached fastening tapes, the mask blank of the facial mask being provided on the inside and on its upper edge, with a smooth or transversely folded relative to its longitudinal direction strip of foamed plastic with an adhesive surface of a coating with its self-adhesive agent, the adhesive layer being covered by means of a peelable protective sheet, so that the foamed plastic strip disposed on the upper edge of the mask blank of the facial mask which, facing the face, is provided with an adhesive layer and, due to its ready deformability, is, with its upper edge carrying the adhesive layer on the inside, made to adhere above the nasal area and onto the buccal region, so that a protection of the mouth and nose is ensured and the humid r

Abstract: The external apparatus for fixing bone fragments consists of a tube-shaped portion, of which the internal space is filled with glass fibre. The fixing tube is secured by means of nails or screws (12) to the bone fragments to be fixed, whereby a rapid hardening material is introduced into the closed tube system after completion of assembly. After setting, a plastic-glass fibre composite is obtained which has excellent strength properties and is ideally suited for use as an external fixation apparatus.
