Abstract: The invention relates to packaging (E, E?) for a medical device (D, 100?), the packaging comprising: —a first container (300, 300?) receiving the medical device (D, 100?), —a second container (400, 400?) receiving the first container (300, 300?) and closed by a closure means (410, 4101), the packaging being characterised in that it comprises a frame (300, 600?) for supporting the medical device (D), the support frame (300, 600?) being preformed so as to have two walls which are arranged opposite each other and between which the medical device (D) is supported by means of at least one transversely arranged movable bearing stop (500, 61 T, 621?).

Abstract: A vertebral anchoring device including a polyaxial anchoring screw having a spherical head; a connecting rod; a connection element for receiving portions of the connecting rod; a clip having a pressure screw positionable to engage the connecting rod; and a connector installable on the spherical head for receiving the connecting rod. The connector includes a socket and a ring which co-act with one other about the spherical head of the screw in an installed orientation. The socket includes two portions bridged together at an upper level of the socket so that the two portions are positionable in a spaced apart orientation to enable the socket to be installed on the spherical head. Pressure of the pressure screw against the connecting rod bears the connecting rod against the ring which bears the ring against the spherical head of the screw.

Abstract: The rachidian anchoring device with pedicular hooks (2, 4), permitting the emplacement and securement of a connecting rod (3) at the level of each vertebra (9) of a vertebral column, comprises particular hooks (2, 4) provided with securement means for the reception and blocking of a transverse rod (5) connecting said pedicular hooks (2, 4) together and permitting exerting compression between the two pedicular hooks (2, 4) in the direction of the center of the vertebra (9).

Abstract: The vertebral anchoring device according to the present invention comprises a connector (2), a connecting rod (10) and a polyaxial anchoring screw (3) comprising a spherical head (15) and a screw-threaded body (16) whose external diameter d at a summit of the screw threads (17) is greater than the external diameter a of the spherical head (15), each connector (2) being constituted by a connecting element (4) comprising vertical branches (5, 6) delimiting an opening (7) of U shape, and by a locking clip (8) provided with a pressure screw (9) for blocking in the bottom of the U the connecting rod (10), said connecting element (4) being pierced at its middle with a vertical bore (11) permitting receiving opposite the opening (7) a blocking device (19) formed by a ring (20) and a screw-threaded socket (21) for the emplacement and positioning of the connector (2) on the spherical head (15) of the anchoring screw (3).
