BONE IMPLANT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B17/80 A61B17/72 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: first version of the bone implant, extended along the longitudinal axis contains the implant body, including the first and second lateral wire segments, which are separated from each other to form at least two holes through the implant body. Each of the two holes is adapted to receive a bone fixation member so as to attach the bone implant to the bone. The first and second lateral wire segments are interconnected at least at one end of each of at least two holes. The first and second lateral wire segments form a neck at one end of each of at least two holes. The first and second lateral wire segments are connected to each other at the neck. The second version of the bone implant, extended along the longitudinal axis, contains the implant body, including the first and second lateral wire segments that form the respective first and second lateral walls, separated from each other to form the first and the second holes, each made with a possibility to receive a bone fixation element to attach the bone implant to the bone. The first and second lateral walls extend continuously from the first end of the first hole to the second end of the second hole. The first and second holes are located between the first and second ends. The first and second lateral wire segments form the first neck at one end of the first hole and the second neck at one end of the second hole. The first and second lateral wire segments are connected to each other at the first and second necks. The bone implant system of the first version comprises a bone implant with one or more bone fixation elements. The bone implant, extended along the longitudinal axis contains the implant body, including the first and second lateral wire segments, which are separated from each other to form at least two holes through the implant body. The first and second lateral wire segments are interconnected at least at one end of each of at least two holes. The first and second lateral wire segments form a neck at one end of each of at least two holes. The first and second lateral wire segments are connected to each other at the neck. The bone fixation elements are configured to pass through at least two holes into the bone so as to attach the bone implant to the bone. The bone implant system of the second version comprises a bone implant extended along the longitudinal axis and a bone fixation element. The bone implant contains the implant body, including the first and second lateral wire segments that form the respective first and second lateral walls, separated from each other to form the first and the second holes, each made with a possibility to receive a bone fixation element to attach the bone implant to the bone. The first and second lateral walls extend continuously from the first end of the first hole to the second end of the second hole. The first and second holes are located between the first and second ends. The first and second lateral wire segments form the first neck at one end of the first hole and the second neck at one end of the second hole. The first and second lateral wire segments are connected to each other at the first and second necks. The bone fixation member is configured to pass through at least one of the first or second holes into the bone so as to attach the bone implant to the bone.

EFFECT: possibility to significantly simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the amount of material waste left in the manufacture of bone implants that comply with the principles of joint ventures.
