Abstract

The invention relates to a medical container unit for designing and/or manufacturing an implant, comprising a plurality of container subunits, each of which forms a sector, is equipped with at least one means for designing and/or manufacturing an implant, and is formed by self-supporting partial substructures on at least two sides.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A medical container unit for designing and/or manufacturing a patient-specific, anatomical adapted implant, the container unit comprising a plurality of container subunits each of which forms a sector and is formed by self-carrying partial substructures on at least two sides, wherein one sector includes an implant designing unit comprising a computer with a drawing software for designing the patient-specific, anatomical adapted implant, and the one sector or another sector includes an implant machine-manufacturing unit adapted to machine fabricate the patient-specific, anatomical adapted implant.

2. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein each container subunit is re-detachably connected to at least one further container subunit.

3. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein each container subunit includes a self-supporting skeletal structure at which a plurality of partial substructures is present at which plate sections forming plural sidewalls, a ceiling and/or a bottom and/or beams supporting the same are arranged.

4. The container unit according to claim 3 , wherein the skeletal structure is composed of a metallic material.

5. The container unit according to claim 3 , wherein the plate sections are composed of a light-metal material or a plastic material.

6. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein a first sector is equipped with a sanitary unit comprising a lavatory, a shower and/or a toilet bowl and/or with an office unit comprising office furniture.

7. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein a first sector is equipped with a cleaning and/or packaging unit and/or a sterilization unit.

8. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein a first sector is equipped with a handcraft unit comprising a workbench and/or with a surface finishing unit.

9. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein the implant machine-manufacturing unit for machine fabricating the patient-specific, anatomical adapted implant comprises an additive manufacturing device, a sintering device, a laser fusing device and/or a cutting device.

10. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein a first container subunit and a second container subunit of the plurality of container subunits are stacked on top of each other.

11. The container unit according to claim 1 , wherein the another sector includes the implant machine-manufacturing unit for machine fabricating the patient-specific, anatomical adapted implant, wherein the one sector and the another sector are separated by an inner wall.

12. The container unit of claim 11 , wherein the inner wall is re-detachable.

13. The container unit of claim 11 , wherein the inner wall comprises a door.

14. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of container subunits comprises at least two container subunits having a different height.

15. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of container subunits comprises at least two container subunits having a different width.

16. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of container subunits comprises at least two container subunits having a different length.

17. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein the one sector and the another sector have different two-dimensional areas.

18. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein the one sector and the another sector have different three-dimensional areas.

19. The container unit of claim 1 , wherein one container unit of the plurality of container subunits comprises two sectors.
