A spinal fixation device is provided, comprising a body member having a first side and an opposite second side, and an elongate flexible strap having a first section and a second section. The first section of the strap is attached or attachable to attachment means of the body member arranged at a first location thereof. The second section of the strap is sized and shaped to pass through a passageway arranged at a second location of the body member. The strap has a series of teeth and the passageway of the body member has a latch configured for engaging one of the teeth. The teeth and the latch are configured to allow a movement of the second section of the strap through the passageway in a tightening direction from the first side to the second side of the body member, and to prevent a movement of the second section in the opposite direction.

Vertebral fixation device

A sleeve for enforcing the end of a hollow organ so that it can be connected with a further end of a hollow organ, the sleeve comprising a cylindrical shape and being configured to be pushed over the end of the hollow organ and for turning-over the end of the hollow organ projecting from the sleeve around an end of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve has an adjustable diameter.

Device for connecting hollow organs, especially blood vessels, by surgery

A coupling assembly for securing an end of a tube to a connecting shaft of a device is provided. The coupling assembly comprises an inner sleeve having a first end, an opposite second end, a first end section at the first end and a second end section at the second end, and an outer sleeve having a first end, an opposite second end and a second end section at the second end. The second end section of the outer sleeve is sized and shaped to receive at least the first end section of the inner sleeve therein. An interior surface of the second end section of the outer sleeve is provided with a protrusion or a recess to engage a corresponding recess or protrusion on an exterior surface of the inner sleeve. The second end section of the inner sleeve is flexible.

Implantable coupling assembly for a catheter tube and a valve device

The invention elates to a device () for connecting hollow organs (), which device comprises various elements that are held by holding devices. Said holding devices can be laterally displaced on a slide rail (), rotated or detached and put on and their position can be secured if required. The traverse () is used as a stop for the axial alignment of the holding devices. The two holding devices () carry clamping devices for retaining and, if required, clamping off the hollow organ ends (). The holding devices () carry fittings (). The two hollow organ ends () to be connected are pushed through the fittings to such an extent as to project over the fitting ends by a defined extent. The ends of the hollow organs are then turned up by the ends of the fittings using two turn-up devices (). The holding device () in the center holds an additional fitting () into which the two fittings () are inserted with the turned-up hollow organ ends and secured.
