SURGICAL ASSEMBLY FOR PLACING A DISC PROSTHESIS
The invention relates to a surgical assembly (1) including a disc prosthesis (2) and a prosthesis holder (3), characterised in that: the disc prosthesis (2) includes two openings arranged side-by-side on a front surface of the prosthesis, each of the openings including an outer side recess; and the prosthesis holder (3) includes two resilient coupling arms (8) arranged side-by-side and connected to one another by a hinge area (9), said arms (8) including: first ends (8a) each including a lug (10) projecting laterally outwards, said lugs (10) being capable of snap-fitting into the side recesses in the prosthesis (2), by the resilience of the arms (8), in order to lock the coupling of the prosthesis (2) onto the prosthesis holder (3); and second ends (8b) capable of engaging with an uncoupling member intended for being inserted between said second ends (8b) so as to separate same from one another and concomitantly to move the lugs (10) of the first ends (8a) closer to one another in order to unlock the coupling of the prosthesis (2).
