  • Total hip prosthesis adapted to be implanted endo-articularly and its auxiliary device and method of implantation
    Patent number: 6482237
    Abstract: A total hip prosthesis comprises a cotyloid implant consisting of a metal cup to be anchored in the acetabulum, a polyethylene insert which provides an intermediate implant inserted into the cavity of the cup, and a femoral implant consisting of a cap having an outer convex surface which is slidably postionable within the insert cavity. An inner concave surface of the femoral implant is implantable on the head of the femur. The prosthesis is particularly suitable for endo-articular implantation.

  • Device for protecting a cutting and/or drilling tool
    Patent number: 6261265
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for protecting a cutting and/or drilling tool (A), comprising: means (4) for isolating from outside a cutting and/or drilling distal part (12) of the tool, said means being connected to a non-cutting and/or non-drilling part of the tool with limited relative mobility and having an opening for said distal part to move between a protected position, wherein the means for isolating the tool encloses at least partially said distal part, and a working position, wherein said distal part is released from the means isolating the tool; elastic means (13) for returning the distal part in the protected position, said distal part being capable of moving towards its working position by the effect of an external pressure (F) countering the elastic return force.
