  • Patent number: 10660740
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an implantable fastening device for securing a graft to at least one bone of a joint, comprising a hollow tubular elongate textile element defining an inside volume and including a first free end and a second free end; and a bearing element having at least two through openings. Said elongate element has an initial outside diameter d0 (mm) and includes an admission orifice leading into its inside volume and an exit orifice going from its inside volume that are spaced apart by an initial distance m0 (mm) defining a sleeve, the first end of said elongate element being passed into the sleeve so as to form a first loop with at least a portion thereof being passed through at least two through openings of said bearing element. The second free end of said elongate element forms a second loop passing through a through opening of said bearing element.

  • Publication number: 20200078055
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an accessory for tensioning an elongate element for attaching an implant to a bone element, comprising a rod having proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis L, the distal end of said rod being provided with a bearing device for bearing on the implant. The accessory further comprises a device for tensioning the elongate element, comprising a drum mounted so as to be able to rotate about an axis T, transverse to the axis L, arranged at the proximal end of the rod, the drum comprising a holding portion suitable for cooperating with the elongate element. The tensioning device comprises a device for rotating the drum about the axis T, allowing the elongate element to be tensioned by winding the elongate element around the drum.
