The device has an optical fiber (s) (s) intended to the repair of the nerve fibers injured.

摘要

The invention relates to a device based on optical fibre(s) allowing to make a neurological exogenous brigde to the damaged nerve fibres of a human body. Said bridge may be used for bridging an isolated nerve or multiple fibres of the spinal cord by using an alternative embodiment with multiple optical fibres. The device is comprised of a cylindrical handle (1) whose port is obturated at both ends by a removable plug (2) and (2') with a passage (3) and (3') for setting in place the optical fibre (4). The free ends of the handle (1) have on either side two articulated arms (5, 5') and (6, 6') whose lower straight portion is provided with teeth (7). The articulation (8) of the two hinged arms is made possible by providing an area of reduced thickness.
