Patent number: 10034761Abstract: The present invention concerns an intersomatic implant (2) comprising a body (4) suitable for being inserted between two vertebrae (1) to space them a predetermined distance apart, the body (4) being provided on either side, respectively, with a contact surface (5, 5?) with the corresponding vertebrae (1). The body (4) is formed from an oblong part of predetermined thickness provided at a first so-called proximal end with a gripping cam (9) mounted movable in rotation relative to the part about an axis perpendicular to the two surfaces (5, 5?), between two predetermined angular positions. The contact surfaces (5, 5?) are either parallel or substantially parallel to one another, and each contact surface (5, 5?) of the body (4) with a corresponding vertebra (1) comprises a set of curved longitudinal protrusions (7, 7?, 7?) which decrease in height towards the distal ends thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2013Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Implanet, Societe AnonymeInventors: Christian Baccelli, Regis Le Couedic

Patent number: 9861397Abstract: A vertebral attachment system and method for retaining a spinal vertebra (25) on a rod (2) employ a device (1) including a body (3) for attachment to the rod, a flexible strip (4) for linking the vertebra to the attachment body and a means (5) for adjustably locking the flexible strip on the attachment body. The attachment body (3) is made of a single part having a U-shaped cross-section, for passing the rod between the bottom wall (10) of the U and the adjustable locking means. The adjustable locking means (5) consists of a linking part (18) connecting the opposite ends of the two arms (6, 7) of the U, arranged such as to compress the rod against the wall. The arms (6, 7) each include a recess (14) opposite thereof, located on the bottom side of the U, for passing the two ends of the strip between the bottom and the rod in order to form a loop for attachment to a vertebra.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Implanet, Societe AnonymeInventors: Christian Baccelli, Regis Le Couedic

Patent number: 9775651Abstract: A vertebral fixation device and corresponding method of fixation hold a spinal vertebra on a rod. The device has a fixation element including a component of substantially U-shaped cross section with a first branch, a bottom and a second branch. A loop is formed by a flexible band for connecting the vertebra to the component, and which passes through recesses provided in the branches. Adjustable means for immobilizing the flexible band are provided. Those means include a connector screw having a head for longitudinal immobilization of the screw with respect to the first branch a thread for screwing in the second branch. A removable sleeve for passage of the screw, insertable in the first branch, in longitudinal abutment with the head of the screw is provided and presents a chamfered part designed to cooperate with the rod to compress the band between the rod and the bottom of the component.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Implanet, Societe AnonymeInventors: Regis Le Couedic, Christian Baccelli
