Patent ID: 8864764

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 distal bridging tips and respective proximal insertion tips adapted to be inserted into the bone tissue fragments; and a connecting bridge coupled to the distal 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, 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 proximal insertion tips to pivot, further wherein the elongated sections include respective stepped-up sections to permit the setting of bone fragments having varying diameters, the elongated sections each further comprising a section that is lower than said stepped-up section comprising said non-linear deformable region with a continuously curved transition section that smoothly transitions between said stepped-up section and said lower section.
