  • Patent number: 10981269
    Abstract: A ancillary handle includes: a gripping part of the ancillary handle, a receiving part having an elongate seat for the shank, and a locking device for locking the shank and fixing the surgical instrument to the ancillary handle. A locking part engages in a groove on the outer surface of the shank. The locking part translates between: iii) a locking configuration, in which the locking part engages in the groove and blocks the surgical instrument, and iv) an unlocking configuration, in which the locking part frees the shank. The locking device includes an actuation part for moving the locking part between the locking and unlocking configurations.

  • Patent number: 10098676
    Abstract: A surgical implant which includes: a first anchoring portion comprising two first arms movable between an inserting position and an anchoring position, in which the first arms are spread apart so as to be anchored in a first bone; a second anchoring portion to be anchored in the second bone; and an intermediate portion connecting the first anchoring portion to the second anchoring portion. The intermediate portion comprises: a recess; and a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion that are remote from one another. Bringing the first connecting portion and second connecting portion closer together moves the first arms from the inserting position thereof to the anchoring position thereof.
