Abstract
A device for handling and identifying small implants used for the coaptation of bone fragments or osteosynthesis. The device is characterized in that it includes a small implant and a matching identifying support, the support including a body, at least partially made of an elastically deformable material. The body includes a retaining housing whose shape corresponds to that of the small implant matching the support and in which the implant is at least partially accommodated. The support also includes a characterization mechanism enabling it to be identified and hereby rendering the implant that matches the support recognizable.
