A method for providing a tool system for removing prosthetic cement from a bone of a patient undergoing a joint prosthesis replacement operation includes scanning the patient in the area of the joint prosthesis to obtain a profile of a line of intersection of a prosthetic cement/bone interface at its intersection with a longitudinally pre-selected plane; providing a guide member shaped as a stem of the prosthesis in a prosthetic cavity located in said prosthetic cement; and providing a cutting tool for forming a running cut through the prosthetic cement along the line of intersection. A stem of the cutting tool includes two protrusions along the length thereof. A guide member includes two grooves which each engage one of said protrusions. Grooves are profiled so the outer end of the stem is forced to follow a path corresponding to the profile of the line of intersection of the cement/bone interface.

Coupling device for connecting an annular fixation member to a bone pin, wherein the coupling device comprises pin connecting means arranged for connecting the bone pin to the coupling device and ring connecting means arranged for removably connecting the annular fixation member to the coupling device, wherein the coupling device further comprises fixator connecting means arranged for removably connecting a fixator to the coupling device, wherein the ring connecting means and the fixator connecting means are arranged for simultaneously connecting the annular fixation member and the fixator while the pin connecting means are connected to the bone pin.

Coupling device for in an orthopaedic system

The invention proposes to dispense a substance from a container filled with a single portion of a substance. The container comprises a preformed deformable body defining a filling cavity which body has an opening and an integral planar circumferential rim surrounding said opening. The opening is closed by a cover sheet which is sealed to the circumferential rim by a circumferential sealing seam. The circumferential rim has a dispensing part which is covered by the cover sheet. A dispensing passage is formed between the dispensing part and the cover sheet. At the location of the dispensing passage is provided a weakened sealing seam portion, such that upon pressurizing the content of the container, the weakened sealing seam portion breaks and substance flows out of the container through the dispensing passage. The dispensing part is flat and the dispensing passage for the substance is defined by the cover sheet sealed to the flat dispensing part by at least two outwardly directed sealing seams. The outwardly directed sealing seams extend at a distance from one another from the circumferential sealing seam to the edge of the dispensing part.

Substance dispensing system

The invention proposes to dispense a substance from a container filled with a single portion of a substance. The container comprises a preformed deformable body, preferably made of sheet material, defining a filling cavity which body has an opening and an integral planar circumferential rim surrounding said opening, which opening is closed by a cover sheet which is sealed to the circumferential rim by means of a circumferential sealing seam. The container with the substance is opened by making use of the deformability of the cover sheet. A support surface supports the cover sheet except at the position of a recess. The recess is positioned at least over a part of the circumferential sealing seam. Upon compression of the container body the substance is pressurized and the cover sheet bulges out into the recess such that the sealing seam is broken at the location where the bulge is formed resulting in the container being open.

A substance dispensing system comprising in combination:&#x2014;a disposable container () filled with a portion of a substance, the container having a preformed and deformable body with a bottom (), a peripheral wall () adjoining said bottom and having a top end remote from said bottom, an integral circumferential rim () extending outwards from the top end of the peripheral wall and defining a filling opening of said container, said disposable container being closed by a cover sheet () which is sealed to the circumferential rim by means of a circumferential seal (), and&#x2014;a dispensing apparatus () comprising a compression device having a cover sheet side support member () for the cover sheet side of the container as well as a bottom engaging member () for engaging on the bottom of the container, said compression device being adapted to compress the container by reduction of the distance between the cover sheet side support member and the bottom engaging member.

In a process for dispensing a powdery product (P) from a container ( ) with a dispensing nozzle ( ) aimed downwards, a flexible section ( ) of the container ( ) is deformed at least near the dispensing nozzle ( ). This is achieved preferably by a movement of the container relative to the dispensing nozzle, in a direction with a component at a right angle to the dispensing nozzle. The movement of the container ( ) and the dispensing of a portion of product from the dispensing nozzle ( ) can take place immediately after one another. The invention also comprises a device for dispensing a powdery product (P), with which the process can be carried out and bridge and tunnel formation in the powdery product is opposed effectively.
