The present disclosure discloses a device for surgery to stabilize bone segments, which includes a screw assembly, a supporting member, an extending member, and a fastening member. The supporting member is connected with an arm of a receiver of the screw assembly. The extending member includes a connecting portion and an extending portion. The connecting portion is located at one end of the extending member opposite to the receiver. The extending portion is connected to the arm with the supporting member passing through a through hole of the extending portion, and a portion of the supporting member protrudes out of the extending portion to the connecting portion. The fastening member is sleeved on the connecting portion and has a pressing groove. The supporting member is located between the connecting portion and the pressing groove. The pressing groove includes a release position and a pressing position for the supporting member.

Device for surgery to stabilize bone segments, extending assembly and assembling method thereof

The present invention discloses a device for stabilization of bone segment and an extending assembly thereof. The device comprises a screw assembly, two supporting members and two extending members. The screw assembly comprises a receiver and an anchoring member. The receiver has a retainer and two opposite arms extending along the longitudinal axis of the device from the positions adjacent to the retainer. The anchoring member is connected to the retainer. The supporting members are connected to the arms respectively and extend along the longitudinal axis. Each one of the extending members has a through hole respectively. The extending members are connected to the arms with the supporting members passing through the through holes respectively.

Device for stabilization of bone segment and extending assembly thereof

Pedicle screw

Spinal screw

The present invention discloses a spinal surgical instrument and a method of guiding thereof. The spinal surgical instrument is operated with a precedent device. The precedent device includes at least one guiding unit. The spinal surgical instrument includes an operating element, an extending element, a handling element and a guide element. One end of the extending element connects to the operating element. The other end of the extending element connects to the handling element. The guide element is disposed on the extending element and includes at least one guide hole. The operating element is guided to the precedent device by the passing of the guide hole along the guiding unit.

Spinal surgical instrument, method of guiding thereof and system for bone stabilization

A foamed biocompatible material for use in tissue repair and a kit for producing same. The kit includes a container having a valve and an inlet, and a tissue-repair composition containing a biocompatible material and a liquid carrier, in which the composition is placed in the inlet of the container and the inside of container has a pressure lower than that of the outside so that, upon opening the valve, the composition is forced into the container by the pressure difference to form a foam inside the container. Also disclosed is a method of preparing a foamed biocompatible material for tissue repair.

Foamed biocompatible materials for tissue repair

An artificial dura biomedical device and a brain surgery method utilizing the same are disclosed. The steps includes: fixing an artificial dura to a partial skull; and fixing the partial skull with the artificial dura to a cut hole of a whole skull. The artificial dura biomedical device includes an artificial dura and a connecting element. The connecting element fixes the partial skull with the artificial dura.

Artificial dura biomedical device and brain surgery method utilizing the same

A kit for producing a foamed biocompatible material includes a container configured to sustain a high pressure, and a tissue-repair composition placed in the container. The composition contains a biocompatible material, a liquid carrier, and a gas. The container has an internal pressure of greater than 1 atm and less than 250 atm, and includes a valve and a nozzle for releasing from the nozzle a foam formed of the composition upon opening the valve. Methods of producing and applying the biocompatible material are also disclosed.
