Patent ID: 7828803

Claim:
A mounting system for mounting band onto a body, comprising: a reaming device comprising: a rigid body having a variable cross-section and a shape to cooperate with the inner wall of the intramedullary canal of the bone so as to be elongated along an axis roughly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the canal to be reamed; a template comprising a rounded helical channel is formed on said body; a removable and disposable band, wherein said band is made of flexible material so as to be able to be wound: cutting elements positioned on the removable and disposable band wound around said elongated body along the helical channel formed on said body), said cutting elements being manufactured by stamping and machining of the band and said band being mounted on the body of the device before the surgical intervention and then removed and discarded after the surgical intervention; and a mounting device comprising: a roughly horizontal axle arranged to rotate and which is mobile along its axis, said horizontal axle being arranged to cooperate with the body of the device, and with a body of a device serving as the template so that the body of the device and the body of the device serving as the template are mounted one behind the other on the horizontal axle of the mounting device and that the longitudinal axes of the bodies of the device and the template are roughly aligned with said horizontal axle; a wheel onto which said band is wound; and a digit mounted fixed in translation relative to said wheel and engaged in the helical channel of the template, wherein the distance separating wheel and digit is roughly equal to the distance separating the lower end of the body of the device from that of the template, so that when the template and the body of the device undergo a rotation around the horizontal axle of said mounting system, the digit moves along the helical channel of the template and the band is correctly wound in the helical channel of the body of the device.
