Patent EP-1392188-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GREEN JAMES M
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un levier permettant de saisir un tissu osseux. Ce levier comprend un manche définissant un conduit et comportant une extrémité distale et une extrémité proximale, un élément de griffe disposé sur l'extrémité distale de la tige et servant à maintenir le tissu osseux, et une tige qui vient se visser dans le conduit et qui présente une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale. La rotation de la tige par rapport au manche fait se déplacer ladite tige sensiblement axialement par rapport au manche, ce qui permet de positionner l'extrémité distale de la tige par rapport à l'élément de griffe. De plus, le levier peut être muni d'un élément de blocage qui permet à la tige de coulisser axialement par rapport au manche. Ce levier peut être doté de diverses autres caractéristiques qui, séparément ou conjointement, en améliorent le fonctionnement.
