  • Publication number: 20180360508
    Abstract: A calcaneum translation plate (1) characterised in that it comprises two end portions, i.e. a proximal anchoring portion (2) and a distal fixing portion (3), oriented in opposing directions and arranged in spaced parallel planes (P-P, P?-P?), said proximal and distal portions connecting to an intermediate portion (4) having a square general profile and comprising two perpendicular bearing surfaces, the proximal anchoring portion extending from one (5) of said surfaces and perpendicular thereto, whereas the distal fixing portion extends in the extension of the other bearing surface (6).

  • Publication number: 20180296260
    Abstract: An extreme movement osteotomy device includes an attachment plate suitable for being locked to the cortical substance of the bone to be treated, having a first proximal portion suitable for being attached to the inner cortical substance of the metatarsal diaphysis of the bone, a distal portion suitable for being attached to the outer cortical substance, next to the epiphysis of the metatarsus, and a central portion connecting the proximal and distal portions, each one of the proximal and distal portions of the plate being provided with at least one hole and orthopaedic screws to pass therethrough; and a proximal intramedullary support system having a shank with a foam tip extending from the end of the proximal portion of the plate.

  • Patent number: 6056838
    Abstract: The method comprises the following steps: producing a preform of the blade comprising a blade root section for connection to a hub and an aerodynamically profiled main blade section, the blade root section of the preform including at least one cylindrical portion for guidance in terms of incidence; arranging a respective peripheral metal ring around each cylindrical portion for guidance in terms of incidence of the preform; arranging the preform provided with each peripheral metal ring in an injection mould; injecting a thermosetting liquid resin into the mould; and heating the mould to make the thermosetting resin set.

  • Patent number: 6035531
    Abstract: The method includes the following steps: producing a preform of the blade comprising a blade root section for connecting to a hub and an aerodynamically profiled main blade section, the preform including, in the blade root section, a pile of fabrics transverse to the span axis of the blade projecting with respect to the blade root section, so as to form a pitch control lever; arranging the preform in an injection mold; injecting a thermosetting liquid resin into the mold; and heating the mould to make the thermosetting resin set.
