Abstract

An osteosynthesis clip for the cicatrization of bone tissue fragments and an insertion tool for inserting the clip are provided. The clip includes at least two engagement legs extending approximately parallel to one another and including respective distal bridging tips and respective proximal insertion tips 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, the elongated sections extending along a non-linear trajectory to form a non-linear deformable region, such as a depression or a dome.

Claims (5)

1. 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.
