An identification system for medical sterile containers and mesh trays for accommodating medical instruments. The system includes one or more sterile containers, one or more mesh trays, and one or more identification plates. Each identification plate includes an interface. At least one counterpart interface is complementary to the interface and formed or arranged on each sterile container and each mesh tray. The interface and the counterpart interface are designed to retain at least one identification plate on one of the sterile containers or on one of the mesh trays.

Identification system for sterile containers and mesh trays

A holding clip is designed to be fixed in a holding contour of a housing part of a sterile container and/or to be removed from the holding contour without tools. The holding clip has at least one at least partly spring-elastic clamping section designed to provide a clamping force to secure the identifying element and at least two holding sections that adjoin the clamping section on both sides and that are designed to engage into an undercut of the holding contour in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. A sterile container can include such a holding clip.

Sterile containers for medical objects

A container system includes a container or a sterile container to which an attachment part can be fastened. For this purpose, the sterile container has a fastening portion which is formed integrally with or integrally in a closed container wall of the container, to which the attachment part can be fastened in a positive fit or locked in a spring-elastic manner.

Interface for fastening attachment parts to sterile containers

A surgical obturator is provided which has a tubular housing, a blade carrier displaceable in the tubular housing in a longitudinal direction between an advanced cutting position and a retracted protected position. A blade with a cutting edge is held on the blade carrier. A protective cap engages over the blade and is displaceable in the tubular housing in the longitudinal direction between an advanced rest position in which the blade is completely covered in its protected position and a retracted work position. The protective cap has a slit through which the cutting edge passes. In a work position of the protective cap, the blade projects through the slit. A retracting device is arranged in the tubular housing for displacing the blade from the cutting position to the protected position. The retracting device is activatable by displacement of the protective cap from the work position to the rest position.

Surgical obturator

In a surgical obturator for piercing a body wall, comprising a tubular housing that at one end forms an introduction tip with a continuously decreasing diameter, and comprising a blade projecting from the introduction tip for making an incision in the body wall, in order to reduce the risk of injury during piercing of the body wall it is proposed that the introduction tip comprises a central protective cap, which is displaceable in longitudinal direction relative to the introduction tip between an advanced inoperative position and a retracted working position, that the blade in the housing is displaceable in longitudinal direction between an advanced cutting position and a retracted protected position, that disposed in the housing is a retraction device that displaces the blade from the cutting position into the protected position, and that the retraction device may be activated by a displacement of the protective cap from the working position into the inoperative position.

To enable puncture of a body wall with a greater degree of sensitivity with a surgical obturator for puncturing the body wall having a knife, the cutting edge of which extends outwards from a tip of the obturator in the direction of various sides and backwards in relation to the tip, and which is orientated throughout its entire length parallel to the puncturing direction, so that the cutting edge points in the puncturing direction, it is proposed that the cutting edge be of helical line-shaped configuration.
