Abstract:
The invention relates to a system which is used to fix a part to a bone element. The invention is essentially characterized in that it consists of: at least one hole which is disposed in part; a rigid rod comprising a first end, the rod being wound into a spiral along a first helicoidal curve; and a device for rotating the rod around the axis of the first helicoidal curve, such that the first end of the rod moves alternatively inside and outside the bone element and, during the rotation thereof, the first end of the rod moves at least once into the opening. The invention is particularly suitable for fixing intervertebral disks or fusion cages to the vertebral bodies of two consecutive vertebrae.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A connecting assembly for spinal osteosynthesis has a bone anchoring element including a connection zone designed to co-operate with a connecting device. The connecting device comprises in its lower part a spherical shape designed to enable the connecting device to be freely positioned in a connector or in a linking element having a cavity with matching shape, the spherical shape forming a stop element for longitudinal positioning with the connector or with the linking element.
Abstract:
A connection assembly for spinal osteosynthesis has a bone-anchor having a connection zone intended to cooperate with a connection device, in which the connection device has, in its lower part, a spherical shape in order to permit a free positioning of the connection device in connector. The connector has a cavity of complementary shape to the spherical shape. This spherical shape forms a limit of longitudinal positioning with the connector.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an instrument for moving a vertebra (1) relative to another (2) comprising: a stem (3) consisting of a substantially horizontal crosspicce (5) and a first arm (4) whereof the lower end (15) has means (24) to be anchored to a first vertebra (2); and a second arm (6) whereof the lower end (10) has means (25) for being anchored to a second vertebra (1), and one upper end has a means (7) for actuating in translation said second arm (6) along a direction substantially perpendicular to the crosspiece (5), said actuating means being associated with the crosspiece (5). The second arm (6) is deformable along at least one degree of freedom between the lower end (10) of the second arm (6) and its actuating means (7).
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to elastomeric compositions especially useful for manufacturing articles for tires which comprise: (1) at least one butadienic elastomer E, containing a functionalized butadienic elastomer prepared in solution, and modified by a polyfunctional alkoxy silane coupling agent; and (2) a specific precipitated silica having high dispersibility properties and containing aluminium, as at least one reinforcing filler in said butadienic elastomer.
Abstract:
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.
