Benefits of technology

[0004]According to one or more embodiments of the present invention there is provided a container for a medical instrument or an implant, in particular for a dental instrument or a dental implant, which container can be safely transported. Preferably, the medical instrument or the implant is as easy as possible to remove for use. Preferably, the container is designed in such a way that the instrument or the implant has the fewest possible contact surfaces with the container, such that it is easier to sterilize the instrument or implant.

Problems solved by technology

Such a procedure, however, always entails the risk that the sterilization is carried out incompletely and under not entirely clean conditions, which can lead to later complications for the patient.
A problem with this method is that, after the sterile barrier has been opened, the instruments often have to be inserted into a drive unit, as is the case with a drill, for example.

Embodiment Construction

[0038]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a container 10 according to the invention. The container 10 comprises a receiving part and a slide part 14 which can be connected releasably to the latter. The receiving part 12 is substantially tubular or trough-shaped and is open at one end face 16. The receiving part 12 has a top face 18, an underside 20 and two lateral walls 22, 24.

[0039]The slide part 14 can be plugged from the direction of the top face 18 onto the receiving part 12 and has two open end faces 26, 28. The end face 26 has a circular opening 30 through which a holder (see FIG. 6) can be connected to a medical instrument or implant accommodated in the container 10. The slide part 14 also has two grip areas 32, 34 which, in the connected state, engage around the two side walls 22, 24 of the receiving part 12.

[0040]FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a dental implant and of an adapter 38 which can be connected releasably thereto, which dental implant 3...

A locking mechanism, which has a latching connection, acts between the receiving part (12) and the slide part (14).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a container for a medical instrument or an implant, in particular for a dental instrument or a dental implant.BACKGROUND[0002]There are basically two possible ways of supplying medical instruments or implants. One possibility is for such instruments or implants to be supplied in an unsterilized state, in which case it is essential that the instrument or implant, before being used on the patient, is sterilized by the surgeon or physician. Such a procedure, however, always entails the risk that the sterilization is carried out incompletely and under not entirely clean conditions, which can lead to later complications for the patient. Another possible way of supplying such medical instruments or implants is for them to be sterilized by the manufacturer before supply, and for the instrument or the implant then to be supplied in a sterile state for immediate use on the patient. A problem with this method is that, after the ster...
