Patent ID: 8372075

Claim:
A removable osteosynthesis clip for the cicatrization of bone tissue fragments, the clip comprising: at least two straight engagement legs extending parallel to one another in a first direction and including respective bridging tips and respective insertion tips adapted to be inserted into the bone tissue fragments; and a connecting bridge coupled to the bridging tips of the two engagement legs, the connecting bridge including at least two elongated sections extending along side one another generally in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the elongated sections having a non-linear outline having a curved shape forming a non-linear deformable region when viewed in a third direction perpendicular to said first and second directions, such that the non-linear deformable region has a curved shape extending upwardly or downwardly in the first direction, the curved shape extending over at least half the length of the elongated section, wherein the elongated sections of the clip receive a force in the first direction in an area of the non-linear deformable region to substantially straighten the non-linear deformable region and cause the insertion tips to pivot, the engagement legs being provided with respective helical screw surfaces to facilitate removal of the clip after the bone tissue fragments have fused.
