Dental implant having a socket arrangement having the shape of a regular octagon which is partly interrupted by outwardly extending notches being parallel or parallel and partly inclined with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the implant, the inclination being such as to taper inwardly from their coronal end, wherein interrupting and outwardly extending ridges extending from the notches in an apical direction of the dental implant, first contact surfaces being adapted to engage and rotationally secure an abutment, and wherein second contact surfaces extend from the notches within the ridges in the direction of the longitudinal center axis, the second contact surfaces being adapted to engage with an insertion tool; and wherein the notches are positioned at sides or at corners of the regular octagon.

Dental implant socket arrangement

A threaded dental implant to be screwed into a jawbone for supporting at least one abutment and/or a dental superstructure, and having a socket arrangement with a first section and a second section with respective geometrical profiles around a longitudinal center axis of the implant. The first section cooperates with the abutment for securing the abutment in a determined position in the implant. The second section cooperates with an insertion tool for screwing the implant into the jawbone. The first section includes an annular coronal contact surface on top of an opening centric at a coronal end of the implant, followed in an apical direction by a first tapered section having a diameter decreasing in the apical direction, by a first cylindrical section, by first anti-rotational elements and by a threaded section.

Transfer element () and a container for a medical instrument or implant, more particularly for a dental implant (). The transfer element () includes an adapter segment () for holding the medical instrument or implant and for attaching the transfer element () to a housing of a container, and also a means for handling the medical instrument or the implant by hand and/or with the aid of an auxiliary tool, and, optionally, a holder segment () arranged on the first end () and connected to the adapter segment (). The adapter segment () has an adapter end region () for detachably holding the medical instrument or implant and a connection section (). The connection section () has connection means that are intended to interact with corresponding connection means of the housing. The means for handling the medical instrument or implant by hand and/or by means of an auxiliary tool are arranged on the connection section () and/or, optionally, on the holder segment ().

Transfer element and container for a medical instrument or implant, particularly for a dental implant

A housing () for an implant (), a holding piece () to connect the implant () to the housing (), and an insertion tool () for inserting the implant () into an implant site. The holding piece () includes at least one resilient element () for detachably connecting to the implant () with a first retentive force and a tool retention means to connect to the insertion tool () with a second retentive force which is greater than the first retentive force. In between the two ends the holding piece () features a housing connection segment () for connecting the holding piece () to the housing (). On a distal end the insertion tool () comprises torque transmission means, which transmit torque directly to the holding piece () and/or to the implant ().

Package housing for an elongate object (), including a base element () having a housing wall () defining a receptacle () for the object (), wherein the receptacle () has a longitudinal axis (L) which runs substantially coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the object () in the packed state. The base element () comprises a head part () and a holding part () arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) next to the head part (), which holding part is connected to the head part () by a weakening zone () and including at least one holding portion (), which is intended to hold the object () in the holding part (). According to the invention, the weakening zone () is a predetermined breaking point (). The holding portion () includes at least one spacer (), which is configured such that the object (), in the packed state, is held in a contact-free manner with respect to that part of the housing wall () of the holding part () which extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L).

Package housing for an elongate object

Container for a medical instrument or an implant, in particular a dental instrument or a dental implant (), the container having an outer housing part (), and an inner housing part () which is movable relative to the outer housing part () from a closed position to an open position. The inner housing part () has a grip element () accessible from the outside. The container has a locking mechanism (), which acts between the outer housing part () and the inner housing part (), and an actuation of the grip element () causes an unlocking of the locking mechanism ().

Container for a medical instrument or implant, in particular a dental instrument or a dental implant

A receiving element for a dental implant is provided. The receiving element has a hollow body extending along a center axis of the receiving element, and a first plate and a second plate extending substantially perpendicular to the center axis of the receiving element and configured to fix a dental implant releasably in a stable position. The first plate and the second plate each has a front end, a rear end opposite to the front end, a first lateral end and a second lateral end opposite to the first lateral end. The receiving element further has an open portion disposed between the first plate and the second plate to partially separate the first plate and the second plate. The open portion extends from the front end substantially up to the center axis of the receiving element. The open portion has a first gap extending from the first lateral end substantially up to the center axis and a second gap extending from the second lateral end substantially up to the center axis, each gap allowing communication along the entire length thereof between an interior of the body and an exterior of the body.
