Patent number: 7316684Abstract: A multiaxial connection osteosynthesis system for the spine having a bone anchor, a connector and a connecting member. The bone anchor may be implanted into a vertebral body with a connector being attached to a head of the bone anchor. The connector includes a seat for receiving the connecting member. As the connecting member is locked into position it causes walls of the connector to inwardly deform and lock the head of the bone anchor relative to the connector.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2000Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Stryker SpineInventors: Christian Baccelli, Frédéric Conchy, Fabien Gauchet, Régis Le Couedic, Denis Pasquet, Pierre Henri Saint Martin, Michéle Turner-Domergue, Cécile Vienney

Patent number: 6454805Abstract: The invention concerns an implant comprising a body with an upper surface and a lower surface capable of pressing on the vertebral end-plate located immediately above and beneath and having further at least a through aperture emerging on the upper and lower surfaces. The invention is characterized in that the implant further comprises an anchoring member mounted in such a way as to be capable of moving in the aperture. The said anchoring member includes a support part adjacent to a first vertebral end-plate, and at least a projecting anchoring element extending from the support part towards the opposite vertebral end-plate. Thus, when the implant is compressed between the vertebral end-plates, the anchoring member is stressed by the first vertebral end-plate at the support part to move relative to the body and the at least providing projecting element overlaps the body surface facing the opposite vertebral end-plate and is anchored therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2001Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: DIMSO (Distribution Medicale du Sud-Ouest)Inventors: Christian Baccelli, Frédéric Conchy
