A surgical apparatus generates energy that is input onto an appliance. The appliance is one of an implant to be implanted in human or animal bone tissue by the input of the energy, and of a tool being an ultrasonic bone cutting and/or punching tool for cutting and/or punching living human or animal bone tissue by input of energy onto the implant in a surgical operation. The apparatus includes a control device and at least one handpiece, the handpiece being equipped to be held by a surgeon during the operation and to couple the energy into the appliance. The apparatus further includes a reading device equipped to read out, from an appliance data carrier, appliance data dedicated to the appliance. The control device checks, depending on the appliance data, whether the handpiece is suitable for the appliance and chooses operating parameters depending on the appliance data.

A grinding drill with a cooling function for a minimally invasive spinal surgery includes a grinder fixture, a grinding rod assembly, and a grinder. The grinder fixture includes a housing assembly and a sleeve located inside the housing assembly. One end of the grinding rod assembly extends into the housing assembly and is connected to the sleeve through a connecting shaft. An inner grinding rod is rotatably provided in the grinding rod assembly. The grinder runs through the other end of the grinding rod assembly and is connected to the inner grinding rod. An end of the inner grinding rod away from the grinder extends into the sleeve and is rotatably connected to the sleeve through a transmission element. A spiral cooling passage communicated with a water injection hole of the sleeve is provided between an inner wall of the housing assembly and an outer wall of the sleeve.

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.

An apparatus and method of securing an elongate member to a medical instrument. The apparatus comprising an attachment device including a base, a liner, and an adhesive. The base comprising an aperture configured to receive the elongate member, wherein the liner may be positioned adjacent the aperture and axially aligned with the elongate member when the attachment device is coupled to the medical instrument. The attachment device may comprise a pair of apertures and the liner may be positioned adjacent the adhesive and at least partially between the pair of apertures. The method of securing the elongate member to the medical instrument comprises threading the elongate member through the aperture of the attachment device and adhering the attachment device to the medical instrument. The method of manufacturing the attachment device may comprise cutting the aperture in the base, the adhesive, and liner.

A biomimetic desert beetle self-transporting bone microgrinding head and a preparation process thereof, and relates to the field of medical instruments. The microgrinding head includes a hydrophobic matrix or a matrix having a hydrophobic plating layer. The matrix has a hydrophobic surface on which several hydrophilic abrasive particles are uniformly distributed. A process for preparing the microgrinding head is: selecting diamond abrasive particles and conducting oxidization treatment of the diamond abrasive particles; forming a hydrophobic matrix by scanning a surface of the matrix with a laser; or alternatively obtaining a hydrophobic plating layer by a chemical modification method; and combining the oxidized diamond abrasive particles with the hydrophobic matrix or the hydrophobic plating layer by electroplating to obtain a microgrinding head. The microgrinding head utilizes to achieve an effect of being capable of cooling rapidly and capturing cooling medium droplets and effectively transporting the droplets to a grinding arc region.
