  • Patent number: 12161146
    Abstract: An synthetic fiber oral flavored product includes a fibrous substrate. The fibrous substrate is made of a synthetic polyester in a typically pelletized shape imbued a carrier liquid of propylene glycol or equivalent. The carrier liquid carries a freebase synthetic nicotine, a binding agent, a textural adjustment agent and flavorants. In some examples, the fibrous substrate is heat treated and modified by heating and rapid cooling the substrate to increase the zeta potential of the fibrous substrate.

  • Patent number: 10314620
    Abstract: A vertebral support device (1) is disclosed, which in various embodiments comprises at least two osseous anchoring implants (2), each designed to be anchored to a vertebra, and at least one linking element (3) fixed to the osseous anchoring implants (2) by fasteners (20) that maintain a fixed angle between the longitudinal axis (L) of the linking element (3) passing through rigid elements (34) of the linking element (3) and the insertion axis (DV) of the implants (2). The linking element (3) includes at least one elastic dampening element (31) that that allows the implant-bearing vertebrae some freedom of movement. The dampening element (31) accommodates the stresses imposed on the linking element (3) during movement of the vertebrae and tends to return the support device (1) to its normal configuration.

  • Patent number: 8262700
    Abstract: A transverse spinal linking device links at least one spinal osteosynthesis bar to a transverse bar. The device may include a first part that has a vertical axis and a first jaw, a second part that has a second jaw, and a clamping resource. The first part may include a sliding surface, which may be inclined in relation to the vertical axis, and which may mate with at least one sliding surface of the second part. The sliding surfaces may be configured so that the descent of the second part results in an approach of the jaws, with the clamping action of the clamping resource causing the fixing and/or the locking of the device on the osteosynthesis bar and the fixing and/or the locking of the transverse bar.
