  • Patent number: 10420594
    Abstract: The present application relates to a coaptation plate comprising a core and an overmold, the core comprising at least one window which is designed to at least partially extend over a fracture which separates a first portion of the osseous tissue from a second, the window being positioned between two openings through which a fastening screw passes, wherein one of said openings lies at least partially within a proximal portion of the core and the other opening lies at least partially within a distal portion of the core, the overmold enclosing the core and forming at least one upper layer and one lower layer on either side of the core, the window defining polymer material links that pass through the core and connect the upper layer and the lower layer, thus ensuring that the overmold is anchored in the core.

  • Patent number: 9907666
    Abstract: A scapholunate stabilisation implant includes a central part having an elastic deformation capacity enabling the traction movements of the implant, and two end parts having an elastic deformation capacity enabling the torsional movements of the implant, the end parts being provided with at least one hole through which the fixing screw is passed, the central part and the end parts being connected by rods that can withstand the torsional deformations of the implant.

  • Patent number: 8834534
    Abstract: A scapholunate stabilization graft is made up of an oblong plate, made of a material having a resilient deformation capability. The ends of the plate are provided with at least one hole enabling an attachment screw to pass therethrough, and the central portion of which has an opening defined by two opposite sides. A spring connects two remote points of said sides, said spring being placed along the diagonal within said opening.
