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.

A device for forming an anastomosis between two lumens may include a staple receiving assembly and a staple dispensing assembly. The staple receiving assembly may include a first body defining a bottom surface surrounding a first central opening and staple receiving cavities. The staple dispensing assembly may include a second body defining a top surface surrounding a second central opening and staple dispensing cavities. The device may also include a plurality of linear staples positioned within the staple dispensing cavities. The is designed to retain everted ends of the first and second lumens between the bottom surface and the top surface. Further, the staple dispensing assembly may propel the linear staples from the staple dispensing cavities through the retained everted ends of the first and second lumens toward the staple receiving cavities in order to form an anastomosis between the first lumen and the second lumen.

A collector used to collect bone includes: a container body defining an interior containment space for receiving and retaining collected bone, and having at least one open end for access and removal of collected bone from the interior containment space; and a cap in covering relation to the open end of the container body such that access to the interior containment space for removal of collected bone is inhibited. The collector includes an intake port defining an opening for receiving therein a distal end of a kerrison rongeur for collecting cut bone from a cutting area thereof, and the cap includes at least one scraper for engaging and dislodging cut bone from the cutting area of a distal end of a kerrison rongeur when received within the intake port. The collector preferably is used with a kerrison rongeur for collecting cut bone therefrom.

Device for inspecting a cavity of a patient comprising a retractor body, extending along a longitudinal axis between a distal end and a proximal end, and a handle applied or fixed to the proximal end of the retractor body. The retractor body has a distal portion having a substantially tubular shape and a proximal portion extending from the distal portion in a diverging fashion. The distal portion defines a retraction zone of an internal cavity of a patient and internally delimits an internal volume accessible from a rear access opening made on the proximal portion, wherein said distal portion of the retractor body has at least one front and/or lateral opening to allow access to the mucosa or tissue of the patient from said internal volume. The device further comprises at least one support seat arranged in the proximal region of the retractor body and configured to supportingly receive a front surface of a laser head, said at least one support seat being arranged in a radially external position with respect to an external profile of the proximal portion.

A retro-reflective marker comprising a bare retro-reflective layer; a protective layer with a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength specific anti-reflective coating; and a border with an NIR absorbent coating.
