ABSTRACT:
Device for reinforcing a ligament transplant during reconstructive surgery. The transplant is inserted into a knitted sleeve formed from resorbable yarn, the mesh of which enables said sleeve to be extended in a diamteral direction and includes at one of its ends two loops, which serve to secure said sleeve to one of the insertion points of the transplant. The sleeve can be associated with a tube having an ogival head adapted for sliding into a tractive tube in which the transplant enclosed in the sleeve has been previously placed, the end of the sleeve being passed, by means of a thread-drawing tube, through an opening in the ogival head. The head comprises elastic ribs which can hold onto the body of said tube, the withdrawal of the tractive tube enabling the ribs to be spaced apart and engage the peripheral area of the hole formed in the bone.
