BONE IMPLANT, IN PARTICULAR FOR VERTEBRAL ARTHRODESIS, PROVIDED WITH BLOCKING MEANS FOR ANCHOR SCREW
Publication number: 20210121205Abstract: A bone implant including a plate with an orifice extending along a steering axis capable of receiving an anchor screw extending along a screw axis, where a first blocking member is arranged in a first peripheral housing formed in the orifice, and a second blocking member is arranged in a second peripheral housing formed in the orifice and offset relative to the first housing according to the steering axis, and the orifice includes a lower portion providing a bearing with polyaxiality to the anchor screw so that the screw axis can form with the steering axis a screw angle with an adjustable measurement, and the blocking members are elastically deformable between an open configuration, in which they authorize an insertion of the anchor screw, and a closed configuration, in which they prevent an extraction of the anchor screw regardless of the measurement of the screw angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: ORTHOPAEDIC & SPINE DEVELOPMENT (OSD)Inventors: Stéphane RAMARE, Patrick TROPIANO, Paolo MANGIONE, Olivier GILLE -

Patent number: 9987044Abstract: Various methods, devices, and systems are disclosed that facilitate easier and more compact implantation of osteosynthesis devices. In some embodiments, implants are screwed into two vertebrae and a plate is used to hold and displace the spine. In some plate embodiments, at least one longitudinally elongated opening is disposed at one end of the plate and partially opening onto an edge of the plate. In some plate embodiments, at least one longitudinally elongated opening is disposed at one end of the plate having a portion sufficiently large to be inserted without disassembly in the fixation means of an implant already screwed into the spine when the fixation means are already assembled.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: LDR MedicalInventors: Joël Delecrin, Jérôme Allain, Patrick Tropiano, Serge Ganglof, Rémi Poncer

Patent number: 8221457Abstract: The present invention relates to an osteosynthesis device, particularly for spinal support or correction, enabling easier and compact implantation, that can be particularly used in the case of implantation via the anterior approach, and a preassembly method for such a device. Said device comprises implants screwed into two vertebrae and one plate characterized in that the plate is joined to at least one implant by attachment structure able to hold said plate without preventing the implant from rotating on its screwing axis, or without preventing a specified clearance of the plate with respect to the implant. In this way, said attachment structure make it possible to continue screwing the implant, or adjust the position of the plate after the plate has been on the implant.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: LDR MedicalInventors: Joël Delecrin, Jérôme Allain, Patrick Tropiano, Serge Ganglof, Rémi Poncer
