Spinal device comprising means of reversible fastening
A spinal device for carrying out a surgical procedure on vertebrae by a posterior or posterolateral approach, including at least one tube, at least one spinal screw capable of engaging with the proximal end of a tube, wherein the device also comprises a connection accessory, having means of reversible fastening to at least one of said tubes, said connection part being configured such as to keep at least one of said tubes in an open angular position.
1. A spinal device for carrying out a surgical procedure on vertebrae by a posterior or posterolateral approach, comprising:
at least one tube and at least one spinal screw capable of engaging with the proximal end of said tube,
a connection accessory, comprising a median portion extended at either side by reversible fastening means to at least one of said tubes, said connection accessory being configured such as to keep at least one of said tubes in an open angular position;
wherein said reversible fastening means comprises an arched portion forming a groove having an inner section matching an outer surface of said at least one of said tubes.
2. A spinal device according to claim 1 , wherein said connection accessory is made up of a rigid retraction blade capable of engaging with two separate tubes and of keeping the tissues in the area around the surgical field separated by locking the relative position of two tubes.
3. The connection accessory according to claim 2 , wherein said blade is made up of a median area extended at either side by a groove allowing a relative longitudinal movement of the tubes inserted in said grooves.
4. The connection accessory according to claim 2 , wherein a median area has a first distal portion in the form of a frusto-conical tile with a section that decreases in the proximal direction, extended by a second proximal portion in the form of a cylindrical tile, flared relative to the first distal portion.
