    摘要: A medical instrument system includes a handpiece and a surgical tool. The handpiece has a housing in which a drive and/or a gearing mechanism is accommodated and which preferably has a housing part which is or can be attached to the housing. The surgical tool is supported on the housing and/or the housing part by a plurality of rotary bearings. The surgical tool is or can be coupled to the drive and/or gearing mechanism for conjoint rotation and in an axially fixed manner so as to transmit a torque from the drive and/or gearing mechanism to the tool. A first of the rotary bearings at a distal end portion of the tool is connected to the tool to form a unit. A second of the rotary bearings is accommodated in the housing or the housing part, proximally to the first rotary bearing, so as to be stationary.

    摘要: A medical instrument includes an apparatus for detecting activation cycles of the instrument. First and second parts of the instrument are movable relative to each other in an activation cycle. An energy detection coil detects inductively generated energy. An energy-generating magnet inductively generates energy to be detected by the energy detection coil. In the event of movement of the first movable part and the second movable part relative to each other, the energy-generating magnet is movable in a detection region of the energy detection coil and induces energy. A memory and processing device has a counter, detects a voltage signal based on the induced energy during each relative movement, increases the counter by one for each detection of the voltage signal, and counts the number of activation cycles of the instrument. In an alternative embodiment, the voltage signal is generated using a voltage created by a piezoelectric element.

    摘要: A holding device for holding and supporting at least one medical instrument, more specifically a surgical handpiece. The holding device includes a central feedline, at least one line portion of which is connected to the end portion of a central feedline. At least one surgical handpiece can be coupled to the line portion. The holding device also includes a connector portion formed on another end portion of the central feedline. The connector portion can be coupled to a preliminary cleaning unit, more specifically a water/compressed air gun, and a cleaning unit, more specifically a filter unit connected to a rinsing line.

    摘要: A medical device, a cooling-fluid/rinsing-fluid hose, and a method for using a medical device. The medical device includes a handpiece with an interior enclosed by a handpiece housing, preferably for receiving a drive. The medical device also has an effector arranged on or coupleable to the handpiece and a supply device for supplying cooling fluid and/or rinsing fluid to the effector. The supply device includes a guide tube or guide cannula that passes through the interior in the handpiece longitudinal direction and is rigidly connected to the handpiece. The guide tube or guide cannula, which opens to the outside in a distal and in a proximal handpiece region, longitudinally guides a preferably single-use cooling-fluid/rinsing-fluid hose that is pushed into the guide tube.

    摘要: A surgical instrument handpiece for a surgical instrument, a corresponding surgical instrument, a corresponding medical product set having the surgical instrument handpiece in combination with at least one accessory, a corresponding rinsing device, and a corresponding cleaning method for the internal flushing of the surgical instrument handpiece. The surgical instrument handpiece includes a handle section for proximal handling by an operator and a shaft section that extends from the handle section in a distal longitudinal direction. A tool is arranged or arrangeable by a user in a distal outlet opening of the shaft section at the distal end opposite the handle section. The shaft section has at least one narrowed distal tip section with a reduced cross-sectional area in the region of the distal outlet opening.

    摘要: A medical instrument, medical treatment system and method of assembly. The medical instrument has an instrument body with an RFID tag. An underfloor tag holder receives the RFID tag to fix it in position in such a way that the RFID tag is exposed to the surroundings of the instrument via an opening formed in an instrument body surface, but is set back from the instrument body surface to preferably prevent protrusion beyond the instrument body surface. At least portions of the underfloor tag holder with the RFID tag are enclosed by a separate metal shield having a signal-permeable aperture opening.
