A surgical targeting system of an intramedullary nail, which includes an extracorporeally arranged external transmitting unit. Further included is a plurality of first transponder units coupled with and arrayed along the length of the intramedullary nail, each adapted to be actuated by the external transmitting unit. Additionally, a plurality of holes are disposed within and arrayed along the length of the intramedullary nail. Each of the plurality of holes are situated between each of the plurality of first transponder units. Further, a first transmission section is between the external transmitting unit and each of the plurality of first transponder units via which the plurality of first transponder units are actuated. Additionally included is a second transmission section through the intramedullary nail between the plurality of first transponder units and a second transponder unit.

Hybrid electromagnetic-acoustic distal targeting system

A method for the antimicrobial provision of implant surfaces with silver, in which the method comprises an anodizing of the implant surface with an electrolyte, in which the electrolyte has a silver-yielding substance. Alternatively, the method comprises a silver implantation or a silver PVD deposition.

Antimicrobial provision of titanium and titanium alloys with silver

A data transmission system connected to a bone implant has an extra-corporeally arranged external transmitting unit an implantable internal first receiving unit adapted to be actuated by the external transmitting unit. An internal transmitting unit is adapted to be coupled and implanted to the implant. A second transmission section is located between the external transmitting unit and the internal first receiving unit, via which the internal transmitting unit is actuated. A second receiving unit and a first transmission section is located between the internal transmitting unit and the second receiving unit. The first transmission section operates with acoustic vibrations or waves.

The invention relates to adhesives for medical applications and methods of their preparation and use.

Adhesive for medical applications and means for haemostasis

The invention relates to a kit comprising the following individual components: (a) polymers comprising at least one free amino group, (b) bridge molecules selected from the group consisting of monocyclic ortho-dihydroxyaromates, mono-cyclic para-dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic monohydrxyaromates, polycyclic monohydroxyaromates, bicyclic dihydroxyaromates, polycyclic dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic trihydroxyaromates, polycyclic trihydroxyaromates, and mixtures thereof, and (c) polyphenoloxidases, in particular, lignolytic polyphenoloxidases, whereby the individual components b) and c) are not in contact.

An interlocking nail, particularly for fractures of the proximal femur having a proximal portion that has provided therein a bore preferably extending obliquely to the axis of the proximal portion for receiving a screw or pin, particularly a femoral neck pin. The bore is formed so that the lateral edge portions located on opposed sides are flattened and rounded at the inlet end or also the outlet end of the bore.

Locking nail for treating fractures of the proximal femur

A process and apparatus for use in mixing and applying a flowable substance that consists of a powdered first component and a liquid second component. The mixing of the two components form a flowable substance, especially a bone cement. The apparatus uses an injection syringe. The first component is placed into the injection syringe after removing the syringe plunger and placing a closing device or cap onto the dispensing end of the syringe. The liquid component is added to the syringe, preferably from a second syringe filled with the liquid component via a hollow needle of the second syringe. The first syringe is closed at the filling with the syringe plunger under the load of sufficient air in the syringe cylinder. The components are mixed by shaking the first syringe. The lid of the first syringe is removed and a hollow needle is placed onto the first syringe and the flowable substance is delivered at a desired site.
