The present application is directed to an endoscopic device, including at least one flexible endo scope shaft and at least one kink protector, which is associated with the endoscope shaft and includes at least one base body that has a conical and/or cylindrical design, at least in sections, and that has a main extension direction and a main extension along the main extension direction, and the kink protector includes at least one quick-release coupling, which is configured for a selective connection to a tube and includes at least one fin situated at least substantially perpendicularly on the base body. It is provided that the fin has an extension extending along the main extension direction of the base body at least across 50% of the main extension of the base body.

Endoscopic device

A laryngoscope blade () includes a blade proximal end (), to be articulated to a handle (), a blade distal end (), a patient tongue side (), a patient palate side (), a plurality of adjacent rigid elements () extending from the tongue side to the palate side, a plurality of joints () articulately connecting two of the adjacent rigid elements, and a force-transmitting mechanism (), with a proximal end () and a distal end (). The force-transmitting mechanism distal end is mechanically connected to the blade distal end. The force-transmitting mechanism is movable relative to the rigid elements in a longitudinal direction. The force-transmitting mechanism proximal end is mechanically couplable to the handle such that, by pivoting of the handle relative to the blade proximal end, the force-transmitting mechanism is moved relative to the blade proximal end.

Deformable blade for a laryngoscope

A medical instrument including a first fluid line having an end with an edge, a second fluid line, and a cavity in which the end of the first fluid line is arranged, and which is connected to the second fluid line. A wall region of the cavity is designed to be flexibly movable. In a first configuration, the flexibly movable wall region bears on the edge of the end of the first fluid line and thus closes the end of the first fluid line. In a second configuration, the flexibly movable wall region does not bear, or bears only partially, on the edge of the end of the first fluid line, such that the first fluid line and the second fluid line are fluidically connected.

Medical instrument

A blade () for a laryngoscope () includes a proximal end (), which is mechanically connected or connectable to a handle (), a distal end (), and an opening () near the distal end () of the blade (). The opening () is arranged and configured in such a way that a view can be obtained, through the opening (), from the side () to be directed toward a patient's palate during the intended use of the blade () to the side () to be directed toward the base of the patient's tongue during the intended use of the blade ().

Laryngoscope and blade a for a laryngoscope

IOL (intraocular lens) injector () for introducing an IOL () into the eye, comprising: an injector body (); a cavity () for holding the IOL () comprising a leading haptic () and a trailing haptic (); a cartridge () ending at a distal end () in an injection nozzle (); the injector body (), the cavity () and the cartridge () having a channel () extending in axial direction (P); and an axially movable pushing plunger () being placed in the channel () of the injector body () for pushing the IOL () in axial direction (P) out of the cavity () and into the cartridge () and the injection nozzle (), wherein a folding plunger () is arranged in the channel () and is extending in axial direction (P), parallel to the pushing plunger (); and wherein the cavity () comprises a trailing haptic rest () for defining the direction of the trailing haptic () of an IOL () arrange in the cavity (), such that the folding plunger () when moved in axial direction (P) hits the trailing haptic () of the IOL ().

Intraocular lens injector, method for folding an intraocular lens and intraocular lens injector system

A surgical instrument, includes an elongate housing having two housing parts. Disposed between the housing parts is a support arm having one axial end connected to the housing parts. A functional unit is secured to the other axial end of the support arm and includes a rod and an operating member acted upon by the rod, when the housing parts are squeezed together. A force-transmitting unit having an adjusting member is operatively connected to the rod, for translating a movement of the housing parts in a direction substantially transverse to the support arm, as the housing parts are squeezed together, into a linear axial movement of the adjusting member, to thereby actuate the operating member.
