  • Publication number: 20220061979
    Abstract: A method, system and devices for the reconstruction of ribbon shaped ligaments following the anatomical native insertion sites of the ligaments in the corresponding bones is described. The reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the human knee is depicted. The system includes means for positioning and creating bone-tunnels, the preparation of grafts and the fixation thereof. The devices intended for bone tunnel creation take into account the ribbon-shaped nature of the ligament and can be adjusted to patient specific anatomy and take into consideration the various typologies of the ligament insertion sites. The method and devices for graft preparation are construed to reflect the anatomy of ligaments under consideration as close as possible to native ligaments by imitating the ribbon-like nature of native ligaments. The presented fixation methods follow this principle and are intended to support the ribbon-like nature of the grafts and are intended to support in-growth of the grafts.

  • Patent number: 9333307
    Abstract: An injection device (100), provided for injection with an injection syringe (50) into an organism (1), comprises a guide device (10) designed to receive the injection syringe (50), wherein an injection needle (51) and a syringe body (52) of the injection syringe (50) can be moved relative to the guide device (10), in an advance movement towards or in a withdrawal movement away from the organism (1), and an actuating device (20) to which the injection syringe (50) can be coupled and which is used to actuate the injection syringe (50) for injection of an injectable substance into the organism (1), wherein the actuating device (20) has an actuating element (21) which forms an abutment for a piston device (53) of the injection syringe (50) on the guide device (10), in such a way that, during the withdrawal movement, the piston device (53) executes a relative movement counter to the injection needle (51) and the syringe body (52).
