In a shockwave system with a shockwave source for treatment of a patient with shockwaves, a control and evaluation unit for evaluating an input signal supplied directly thereto that is correlated with a blood pressure value of the patient determined during the treatment, and controls the shockwave source dependent on the input signal.

Shockwave system control dependent on patient's blood pressure

A shockwave system for treatment of a patient has a detection unit for detection of an indicator correlated with the calmness of the patient, and a device that is operable dependent on the indicator that increases the calmness of the patient. In a method for operation of a shockwave system for treatment of a patient, an indicator correlated with the calmness of the patient is detected and a measure to increase the calmness of the patient is taken dependent on the indicator.

Shockwave system and method for operation of such a shockwave system

An x-ray apparatus has a servo-supported C-arm that is movable with two degrees of freedom in a movement space by means of a drive device. The servo support of the C-arm deviates at a stop point within the movement space from the servo support in the surrounding movement space.

Motorized adjustable x-ray apparatus

A medical-technical system workstation for open or minimally invasive surgery has a patient support mechanism and at least one medical device with at least one applicator connected to the medical device. The medical device is attached to the ceiling of a room containing the workstation, or in or at the patient support mechanism or in or at a unit that can be placed at the patient support mechanism.

Medical-technical system workstation

A medical system has a number of data processors which are allocated to medical organizational units of a similar type or of different types, these data processors being connected for data exchange. The medical system is operated such that data related to the medical system concerning time sequences for the flow of material and/or persons between the organizational units can be entered at individual or at all data processing units of the medical system, and can be retrieved immediately by each data processing means of the medical system, so that pre-planned flow sequences can be adjusted, as needed.

Medical system organized and operating to adjust for delays associated with patients proceeding through the system

Connection unit for connecting two units which are spatially removed from each other, has at least one connecting line and at least two fixtures for holding and leading the connecting lines, these fixtures being provided with elements which can be fixed in and loosened from mating components that fit the elements, and with arbitrary frequency.

Connection unit for use in a medical workplace

A medical device has a device component that is connected to a mount, which includes elements that can be moved relative to one another in a motorized fashion, and a control and computing unit which controls the motorized relative movements of the elements. A position identification arrangement is allocated to the control and computing unit which supplies signals to permit determination by the control and computing unit of lines in space with different directions, along which the device component can be moved in a motorized fashion, at least indirectly, by the mount.

Medical device with automatically controlled rectilinear displacement of a device component relative to a line

A medical workstation is contained in an operating room having one or both of a double ceiling and a double floor. The medical devices forming the medical workstation are disposed in the double ceiling or in the double floor, or are distributed so that some are disposed in the double ceiling and some are disposed in the double floor. The devices are thus arranged so as not to present a hinderance to operating personnel in the operating room. A connection unit for the medical devices projects into the operating room from the double ceiling or from the double floor.

Medical work station with devices disposed in a double ceiling or a double floor of an operating room

A medical system work station for open or minimally invasive surgery, has a holder tray and at least one terminal unit for handheld instruments of one or more medical devices, at least one equipment center, spatially separated from the terminal unit, for accepting non-manipulated components of the medical devices, and at least one connection unit that connects the terminal unit and the equipment center with one another.

A therapy apparatus with a source of acoustic waves has a light-transparent region, and an optical arrangement for obtaining image information from a body surface of a patient to be treated. The beam path of the optical arrangement runs through the light-transparent region of the source of acoustic waves. The optical arrangement is connected to an arrangement for the graphic display of the obtained image information.

Therapy apparatus with an optical positioning unit

A therapy apparatus has a source of acoustic waves which propagate through a medium in the source, a setting arrangement by means of which a desired distance can be set between a body surface of a patient and a reference point of the source, and an arrangement for determination of the distance of the body surface of the patient from the reference point. The latter arrangement includes a sensor element that is contained inside the source and which can be displaced in the direction of the acoustic axis of the source. The sensor element is in at least indirect contact with body surface of the patient during the determination of the distance. The apparatus also has a display arrangement for providing a quantitative visual indication of the distance.

Therapy apparatus with simple setting of a desired distance from a

A therapy apparatus has a radiation source and a base part standing on the floor of the treatment room, the radiation source being connected to the base part and the base part containing devices required for the operation of the radiation source. The base part has an upper part fashioned at least as part of a patient bearing assembly. At least one further part of the patient bearing assembly is attached to the base part, at least during operation of the therapy apparatus.

Therapy apparatus with a radiation source

A therapy apparatus has a source of acoustic waves with an X-ray-transparent region. An X-ray-transparent diagnostic ultrasound transducer of an ultrasound locating system is contained in this region. The X-ray-transparent diagnostic ultrasound transducer can be a piezoelectrically activated polymer foil.

Coupling device for introducing acoustic waves into the body of a life

The invention relates to a method for stimulating bone growth in a mammal. The method comprises the step of exposing a bone zone where bone growth is to occur to cavitation for bringing forth haemorrhage and/or microfissures and/or to at least partially loosened bone chips at said bone zone.
