The present invention relates to an interspinous implant, intended to be implanted between two adjacent dorsal spines, each including an upper edge, a lower edge and two opposed lateral faces, wherein the implant includes at least one body with dimensions arranged so as to maintain or restore a distance between the adjacent edges of the two spinous processes and including at least two wings extending so that at least a part of each wing lies along at least a part of one lateral face of one of the two spinous processes and, additionally, at least one retainer for the implant, designed to retain the body of the implant between the two spinous processes and to be inserted from the same lateral face as the body.

Interspinous implant and instrument for implanting an interspinous implant

Interspinous implant and implantation instrument

In various embodiments, an intervertebral disc prosthesis is provided. The prosthesis may be provided with an insertion adapter, such as a head, holder, or other carrier of the prosthesis. The insertion adapter may be configured to retain the prosthesis and to engage an insertion tool body. In various embodiments, the prosthesis and the insertion holder are provided in a sterile pack, with the prosthesis components and the insertion holder sterilized and packaged in one or more types or layers of sterile packaging. In various other embodiments, the prosthesis and an insertion tool are provided in a sterile pack, with the prosthesis components and the insertion tool sterilized and packaged in one or more types or layers of sterile packaging.

Intervertebral disc prosthesis insertion assemblies

A vertebral support device () is disclosed, which in various embodiments comprises at least two osseous anchoring implants (), each designed to be anchored to a vertebra, and at least one linking element () fixed to the osseous anchoring implants () by fasteners () that maintain a fixed angle between the longitudinal axis (L) of the linking element () passing through rigid elements () of the linking element () and the insertion axis (DV) of the implants (). The linking element () includes at least one elastic dampening element () that that allows the implant-bearing vertebrae some freedom of movement. The dampening element () accommodates the stresses imposed on the linking element () during movement of the vertebrae and tends to return the support device () to its normal configuration.
