  • Patent number: 9421078
    Abstract: The implantable plate for wall reconstruction comprises a textile support having anti-migratory protuberances on at least one face. If the support comprises thermoplastic fibers or filaments, each protuberance is formed with a conical configuration, by swaging, inside a peripheral zone in which said fibers or filaments are thermowelded, especially by ultrasound, a perforation being centered relative to the peripheral zone. The two faces can comprise protuberances, of a height substantially equal to the thickness of said support, for example distributed in a stagger and alternating from one face to the other, at the rate of 0.5 to 2 per cm2. The plate can comprise radio-opaque marking in the form of lines passing between the protuberances to constitute a grid.

  • Patent number: 8506595
    Abstract: The anchoring and fixing implant is constituted by a continuous wire with rectilinear portions and curved portions. It comprises: a) a central curved portion forming a winding of substantially 1.5n turns, n being, for example, equal to 1, b) on either side and in extension of said central portion, a set of two rectilinear portions, specifically an intermediate portion and an end portion, connected to one another by a bent portion at an angle of the order of 30° to 90° . Also, the rectilinear end portions are oriented divergently so as to make an angle of the order of 60° to 180° between them. The surgical assembly comprises an implant as above, a fixing thread intended to be threaded in the central curved portion of the implant and an ancillary device.

  • Publication number: 20120160896
    Abstract: The fastener, in rest position, lies fully flat along a general plane. It is in a deformable material perpendicular to the said general plane so that it is able to be deformed at the time of implanting. Starting from its distal end, it comprises a curved part curved along at least a main arc of a circle and a terminal part extending the curved part and passing through or close to the centre of the main arc of a circle. Advantageously, the curved part comprises: a main part curved along the main arc of a circle of mean radius R1 over an angular portion A1 of at least 120°, and an intermediate part, facing inwardly inside the main part, in an arc of a circle of mean radius R2 smaller than R1 over an angular portion A2. The applicator for the fastener comprises a storage and guide part comprising a helical housing in which the fastener is arranged in the deformed state.
