  • Prosthetic tibial base, and prosthetic tibial insert intended to be immobilized on such a prosthetic tibial base
    Patent number: 9480569
    Abstract: The invention relates to a base that includes a unit for osseous attachment onto a tibia, and a plate having posterior, anterior, medial and lateral edges; a posterior pin and an anterior pin having a posterior flat section and an anterior flat section; two posterior lugs protruding above the plate and arranged on the posterior edge of each side of the posterior pin; and two anterior lugs arranged on each side of the anterior pin. The posterior flat section and the anterior flat section are arranged so as to simultaneously engage with the insert. Each posterior tab includes a support extension for inserting, in an anteroposterior direction, a complementary support tab of the insert. Each anterior lug includes a unit for snap-coupling the insert onto the base.

  • Device for setting and removing an implant such as a suture anchor
    Patent number: 6599295
    Abstract: A device for setting and removing a deformable implant from bone wherein the device includes a body on which is mounted a movable handle which is operatively connected to activating elements for displacing a rod relative to the body for deforming and/or removing an implant from the bone. The device further includes a rod locking and disengaging assembly which is movable from a first position to prevent movement of the rod to a second position to permit movement of the rod relative to the body.

  • Suture anchor with reversible expansion
    Patent number: 6328758
    Abstract: A suture anchor for fixing soft tissues against a bone, including a hollow body having expanding elements limited in their plastic deformation, when an external traction force (T) is applied for fixing the suture anchor in the bone by stop means and wherein the expanding elements are reversibly deformed when another external thrust force (P) is applied thereto so that the suture anchor may be removed from the bone.
