20150127053 | SURGICAL DEVICE FOR CORRECTING DEFORMATION OF THE SPINAL COLUMN - Surgical device for correcting deformation of the spinal column includes tubular elements for temporary attachment at pedicle screw heads connected by a curved implantable rod, and rods engaged through the elements to align them corresponding to the correction. Each tubular element has two independent portions coupled to outside of the heads; one end of each part having fittings coupling the portions together. The rods comprise an alignment rod and a handling rod, arranged in openings delimited by the portions to move parallel to an axis of the elements. The handling rod acting, as displaced, to simultaneously displace the curved rod, previously engaged into the openings, towards the heads. The handling rod being removed and then coupled to the outside of the elements arranged in alignment to remove the alignment rod and engage, inside each element, a member actuating a nut for fastening the curved rod in each head. | 05-07-2015 |
20120130430 | EXTRA-DISCAL INTERVERTEBRAL STABILIZATION DEVICE - An extra-discal device for intervertebral stabilization includes at least one rigid part connected to pedicle screws by an element. This rigid part comprises a cylindrical body, each end of which is firmly attached to the element which is flexible and deformable so as to be linked to a part of a corresponding pedicle screw with reduced play to obtain a limited range of multidirectional movement in the sagittal, horizontal and frontal planes, while limiting translational movement to the axis of the screw. | 05-24-2012 |
20100030338 | PROSTHESIS FOR NUCLEUS OR INTER-VERTEBRAL DISC REPLACEMENT - The invention relates to a nucleus or inter-vertebral disc prosthesis that comprises at least two plates capable of movement relative to each other through at least one articulation interface defined by a female surface and a male surface each having an essentially spherical shape and essentially equal diameters. The two articulation surfaces are respectively intersected by surfaces that define between them a relative mobility space for the plates when the articulation surfaces are coapted; the surface intersecting the female surface being contained in the volume defined by an equatorial plane of said sphere except for said equatorial plane itself, the surface intersecting the male surface being planar or convex. | 02-04-2010 |
