DEVICE FOR LOCKING SUTURE THREADS

The present invention relates to a kit for locking suture thread(s) comprising: A) at least one locking member comprising: i. A male component (1) comprising a threaded rod (1c) and a widened head (1a); ii. A female component (3) comprising a tapped hole (3b); iii. At least one washer (2) freely movable along the threaded rod (1c) of the male component (1), one of the male or female components being said to be proximal and having at one end an indentation (1b) enabling a torque to be applied thereto by means of a screwdriver having the complementary indentation, and the other component being said to be distal and having an external section (3d) enabling a reverse torque to be applied to it by means of a complementary hollow section; B) a tubular nut holder (14) having a distal end (17) and a proximal end, the distal end (17) having a socket (21) for receiving the locking member (1, 2, 3) and moving it inside tissue, the shape of the socket (21) being configured to allow torque to be applied to the distal component of the locking member and the proximal end comprising gripping means (15) for guiding the nut holder and applying torque thereto; C) a screwdriver comprising a shank (7) comprising a distal end (23) and a proximal end (22), the shank being dimensioned to slide freely in the central channel of the nut holder, and the shape of the distal end (23) thereof corresponding to the indentation (1b) made in the proximal component of the locking member so as to be able to screw or unscrew the latter in or on the distal component of the locking member. La présente invention se rapporte à un kit de blocage de fil(s) de suture comprenant : A) au moins un organe de blocage comprenant : i. Un composant mâle (1) comprenant une tige filetée (1c) et une tête (1a) élargie; ii. Un composant femelle (3) comprenant un trou taraudé (3b); iii. Au moins une rondelle (2) pouvant se déplacer librement le long de la tige filetée (1c) du composant mâle (1), l'un des composant mâle ou femelle étant dit proximal et comprenant à une extrémité une empreinte (1b) permettant de lui appliquer un couple au moyen d'un tournevis ayant l'empreinte complémentaire, et l'autre composant étant dit distal et ayant une section externe (3d) permettant de lui appliquer un couple inverse au moyen d'une section creuse complémentaire; B) un porte écrou tubulaire (14) comportant une extrémité distale (17) et une extrémité proximale, l'extrémité distale (17) comportant une logette (21) permettant d'
