| 20080255572 | Device for Following the Penetration of an Instrument in an Anatomical Structure - A device to monitor penetration of an instrument into an anatomical structure including a voltage source supplying at least two electrodes, at least one of the electrodes carried by a part of the penetration instrument intended to penetrate the anatomical structure, the penetrating part having at least one detachable longitudinal part; and a device that measures the impedance between the electrodes or an electro-stimulator or both. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080269645 | Devices that Monitor Penetration of an Instrument in an Anatomical Structure - A device to monitor penetration of an instrument in an anatomical structure including at least two electrodes, a source of current supplying the at least two electrodes, and means for measuring impedance between the electrodes, wherein the electrodes are located on the penetration instrument, wherein the first electrode has a contact surface coinciding with a distal surface of the penetration instrument and the second electrode has a contact surface coinciding with a lateral surface of the penetration instrument, and wherein the contact surfaces are dimensioned to have a coinciding and constant contact surface as a function of a degree of penetration of the penetration instrument in the anatomical structure. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090216237 | Instrument for Moving a Vertebra - The invention concerns an instrument for moving a vertebra ( | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090270918 | Surgical Intervertebral Implant Forming a Swivel Joint - A surgical implant that supports and assists movement adjacent vertebrae including a top part and a bottom part associated with the spinous process of one of the vertebrae, each part including means for association with one process and reciprocal means or rotational association with the other part and forming a swivel joint. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090281627 | Filling material for filling a vertebral body cavity, intervertebral prosthetic disc nucleus and vertebroplasty prosthesis comprising such a material - The invention concerns in particular an invertebral prosthetic disc nucleus ( | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110046676 | DYNAMIC STABILIZATION ELEMENT FOR VERTEBRAE - A dynamic stabilization member for the vertebrae, capable of interacting with at least two implantable connection assemblies is provided. Each connection assembly system including a system for anchoring into a vertebra and adapted for receiving the dynamic stabilization member, and a system for clamping the dynamic stabilization member (on the anchoring system), of the type that comprises a rod extending along a longitudinal axis and a cable provided with a casing made of an elastic material, characterized in that the cable comprises a fastening sheath surrounding the rod and including rigid areas spaced from each other. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110264222 | DEVICE FOR ESTABLISHING AN ANATOMICAL REFERENCE POINT OF AN INTERVERTEBRAL DISC - The disclosure relates to a device for establishing an anatomical reference point of an intervertebral disc for the attachment of at least one instrument intended for the implantation, through a posterior or posterolateral approach, of a disc prosthesis or osteosynthesis cage as a replacement for the intervertebral disc. The device includes at least two means for bone anchorage each intended to be attached to a vertebra adjacent to the disc, a coupling element for the instrument and elements for adjusting the position of the coupling element relative to the position of the disc. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20120031792 | INSTRUMENT KIT FOR PERFORMING SPINAL STABILIZATION - A disposable surgical kit for fixing the vertebrae using a posterior or postero-lateral route has at least one pedicle screw or vertebral screw and an assembly tube cooperating with the screw. The assembly tube is composed of two independent rigid half-shells. Each of the half-shells has, on the inner face of its proximal end, a shoulder with a shape complementing a recess formed on each side of the screw head in order to permit the gripping or the release of the screw by spreading apart the distal ends of the half-shells The kit additionally has a retractable securing element for securing the half-shells. The retractable securing element has longitudinal fastening means designed as a dovetail for engaging with complementary slides formed in the rigid half-shells. | 02-09-2012 |
