Zusammenfassung: | An instrument including a distal receiver portion for receiving a compression staple that includes two branches interconnected by a transverse bridge. The instrument further including a holder suitable for holding a first zone of the bridge of a staple stationary relative to the receiver portion, the first zone being either the two end portions of the bridge that are connected to the branches or the central portion of the bridge. The instrument further including a deformation tool for deforming a staple from an initial configuration for implanting in a bone towards a compression-applying configuration, said deformation tool adapted to apply forces to the second zone of the bridge of the staple producing a resultant that opposes the forces applied to the first zone by the holder. |
