Dispensing cartridge for tacking nails for attaching medical-grade films to bones

Abstract

A dispensing cartridge (1) for tacking nails (100) for attaching medical-grade films to bones, in particular membrane films for covering bone defects on jawbones, wherein each tacking nail (100) exhibits an expanded nail head (102), a nail shank (104) extending away from the nail head (102), and an expanded arrowhead-like area (106) adjacent thereto, which tapers to a tip (108), and acts as a barbonce the nail (100) has been driven through the film and into the bone, comprising a base body (2) in which a slotted opening (4) is formed, into which the nails (100) with their nail shank (104) canbe inserted, is characterized in that the base body (2) has a gripping area (2a) and a plateau area (2b) adjacent thereto, that the slotted opening (4) is formed in the plateau area (2b), and has a width (b) that is slightly smaller than the diameter (d) of a nail shank (104), so that the nail shank (104) is fixedly clamped in the slotted opening (4), that a grooved depression (6) extending on either side of the slotted opening (4) is formed on the top side of the plateau area (2b), whose depth (T) and height (H) and width (B) exceed the diameter (D) of a nail head (102), and that a support area (8) is arranged underneath the plateau area (2b), against which the base body (2) is supported when a compressive force is applied to the nail head (102) of a tacking nail (100) inserted into theslotted opening (4). The invention further relates to a package for accommodating such a dispensing cartridge (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dispensing cartridge for attaching a medical grade film, in particular a film film for covering bony defects on the jawbone, to a tack of bone according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] When using a dental implant in the jawbone of a dental patient, an opening is first introduced into the jawbone into which the implant body is inserted, for example screwed in with a corresponding threaded section. After insertion of the implant body, the wound opening formed in the jawbone and overlying the gum is temporarily closed by a covering film, which acts as a membrane for healing and protecting the implant body, for example composed of titanium The opening protects against detachment of tissue cells and penetration of soft tissues, while at the same time allowing exchange of material between the wound opening and the oral cavity. Such a cover film, also referred to in the present application as a membrane f...

Problems solved by technology

This makes the handling of the pins relatively complicated during transport to the dentist and their insertion into the positioning instrument, and often requires another assistant to help the dentist remove the pins from the sterile transport packaging and subsequently insert them into the positioning instrument
