Augmentation device, augmentation system, and implantation method

A device having a bone screw with a body, an outer thread and a proximal screw head. A fluid-permeable conduit is disposed in the body, begins at the head and opens out into a fluid outlet opening that is spaced apart from the head in the distal direction. An axial groove extends from the fluid outlet opening to the screw head. The base of the groove is deeper than the base of the outer thread. A cap detachably connects with the screw head, in which a fluid-permeable conduit is disposed, which opens out into the conduit of the bone screw. A hose for feeding fluid is connected or connectable in a fluid-permeable manner with the inlet opening on the cap so that a pharmaceutical fluid is pressable out of the fluid outlet opening through the hose, through the conduit of the cap and through the conduit of the bone screw.

Device for the local application of and/or for flushing with pharmaceutical fluids

A device for local administration of pharmaceutical fluids. The device has at least one capillary with at least one opening in the region of its distal end, a hollow intermediate piece which is connected with the at least one capillary so as to allow the passage of liquid, a guide for directing the intermediate piece which comprises a distal support for resting on the patient, and a fixing element for fixing the intermediate piece to the guide. The fixing element allows fixing of the intermediate piece in various positions relative to the guide. Such fixation prevents displacement of the intermediate piece in relation to the guide. Also disclosed is a method for preparing such a device.
