A method for producing a ceramic osseoconductive bone substitute material, the bone substitute material, intervertebral disk implants containing the substitute bone material, and to methods of using the bone substitute material.

Ceramic bone substitute material and method for the production thereof

An endoprosthetic component which is set up in the implanted state to penetrate in a controlled manner into adjoining bone material.

Endoprosthetic component

A ceramic component that consists of a shell, a filler material and pore channels that pass through the filler material, and can be used as an implant, particularly as a spacer.

Component consisting of ceramics, comprising pore channels

A ceramic component to be securely connected to an additional component in force-locked manner. A joint prosthesis comprising a ceramic sphere (), a metallic sleeve () and a base plate () with a cylindrical projection. The connection between the ceramic sphere and the base plate or shaft () is secured by a screw ().

Fastening ceramic components

A package for receiving an adapter sleeve for a hip endoprosthesis, the hip endoprosthesis comprising a ball head which has to be pushed onto the adapter sleeve with a defined pushing-on force. For simplification and secure fastening of the ball head on the adapter sleeve, it is proposed according to the invention that a device for the mounting of the ball head on the adapter sleeve is integrated in the package and this device comprises indicating elements which indicate that the defined pushing-on force has been reached when the ball head is pressed onto the adapter sleeve. Preferably the package has indicating elements.

Device for assembly of ball heads and adapter sleeves as integrated component part of the package

The invention relates to a package for receiving an adapter sleeve for a hip endoprosthesis, the hip endoprosthesis comprising a ball head which has to be pushed onto the adapter sleeve with a defined pushing-on force. For simplification and secure fastening of the ball head on the adapter sleeve, it is proposed according to the invention that a device for the mounting of the ball head on the adapter sleeve is integrated in the package and this device comprises indicating elements which indicate that the defined pushing-on force has been reached when the ball head is pressed onto the adapter sleeve.
