  • Patent number: 9980723
    Abstract: The device incorporates multiple implants for the attachment of prosthetic equipment, and is characterized by the fact that it incorporates multiple identical implants (1) positioned in alignment and connected to each other at their front (1a) and rear (1b), in a temporary manner, such that the said implants have a screw-form external configuration, and such that each implant has a longitudinal internal cavity (1c) of triangular cross-section extending fully from end to end, that constitutes the housing for a means of pre-positioning (3) configured to have a triangular imprint with a spiked-form end part (3a), such that the interconnection of the implants at the respective front and rear of two successive implants is a temporary connection, and such that the multiple implants constitute an assembled set intended to be inserted into a loader unit associated with the ancillary insertion device.

  • Patent number: 9308067
    Abstract: A urethral support sling implant for treatment of male urinary incontinence is produced in a biocompatible material and comprises a central part intended to form the area supporting the urethra, including an inferior base prolonged into two trans-obturator arms in the same plane and in opposition to each other. The inferior base is prolonged upwards by a section extending beyond the inferior base in the form of two pre-pubic arms. The prolonging arms are made of the same material as the central part, and the arms are produced in the same direction of knit. The pre-pubic arms are configured in a ‘V’ relative to each other, and each of the pre-pubic arms is configured in a ‘V’ relative to the subjacent trans-obturator arm.

  • Patent number: 9173769
    Abstract: A reversible leave in contraceptive device includes an obturator having a body with cylindrical configuration, made of a flexible material and including two stabilizing deformable stiffeners that can be folded back along the obtorator body when unactivated, spreading out radially in a fitted situation in the isthmic part of the Fallopian tube. The stiffeners are in opposite positions so as to fit on one side in the isthmic part of the tube (for the distal side) and, on the other (proximal end) on edges of a tubal ostium. A plurality of projecting forms, having a ridged configuration, run along the entire length of the obturator body in a continuous manner from a tapered bulge of the proximal end to a spherical distal end of the head, and block the tubal protect tubal haustrations. The forms cause deformation of the alveoli to block spermatozoa and close off other mucosal folds.

  • Patent number: 8052759
    Abstract: A hernia prosthesis includes a first portion defining a bag joined to a second portion constituting a one-piece body. A top plate of the first portion has a plurality of radial tabs around a central opening. The second portion has three distinct successive zones including a first median zone in the form of a very long sheath for introducing and securing an inserter-unfolder device. The median portion is prolonged downwards by a plurality of bands uniformly radially disposed and having bottom ends divided into two each respectively to form two tongues in a Y fastening configuration. Each tongue is fastened by its terminal end to one of the tabs. The second portion, in a top zone, beyond the sheath, comprises two very high tongues which have, in their top portion, a longitudinal slit in their width for attaching the inserter-unfolder device.
