Class no.
consisting of several components of lengths and diameters
suitable to be assembled together, using shape memory
elements for a better cohesion between intramedullary bone
canal and intramedullary nail.
It is used in the treatment of long bone shaft fractures, having
following advantages:
-it is modular and adaptable to any type of long bone shaft
fracture;
-it ensures proper compaction of bone fragments, reducing or
eliminating the risk of nonunion;
-it does not allow micro-movements between bone fragments in
the focus of the fracture;
-the stability is provided by continue compression of bone
fragments;
-it avoids the occurrence of important degenerative-dystrophic
lesions in the contact area of the focus of the fracture.
Medicine: The treatment of the long bones fractures.

Patent application A/00211/2012
The patent’s subject refers to an artificial hand-arm assembly
composed by an anthropomorphic five finger artificial hand and
an artificial forearm, linked by a revolute joint. The system
comprises 16 revolute joints at hand level plus another revolute
joint between artificial hand and artificial forearm, which allows
the flexion-extension movements of the hand with respect to the
forearm. The system reproduces the aesthetics, mass,
dimensions and functionality of the human upper limb, and, in
particular, of the human hand
