Abstract: Device for external directional support of the female urethra under stress, consisting of a rigid cushion (1) fixed to a rigid counter-support (2) placed in the rear part of a belt or briefs, and comprising a partial rear perineal support part, the rigid counter-support (2) being connected at the front by adjustable straps (2) supporting it to a belt (5) or briefs whose rear periphery is rigidified by an insert or other non-folding material.

Abstract: The pelvic tissue viscoelastic stretching device before childbirth consists of, on the one hand, a flexible basic body (1) in the form of an inverted quadrangular pyramidal structure extending in a support and positioning tab (4) and comprising an upper face (5) designed to be positioned beneath the uterus and a smaller lower face (6) designed to be positioned near the perineum, connected by an inactive front face (7) and by three active stretching faces, that is a posterior lower face (8) and two lateral faces (9) located on either side of it, and on the other, by three balloons (2, 3) respectively attached to the stretching faces (8, 9) of the basic body (1) and which can be inflated, in particular with physiological serum, to ensure posterior pressing against the sacrum and lateral pressing on the lifting muscles, up to an overall volume corresponding essentially to the head of a baby on birth.

Abstract: Parabolic pessary characterized in that it is composed of a ring-shaped component (1) that is open in a lunette shape or closed in a ring shape, with a raised distal posterior part (4) of cube shape or flat shape, having the role of supporting the uterus and two lateral branches (5, 5?) that are thinner than the distal part (4), and a proximal anterior part (6) that is positioned at the median part of the feminine urethra, this ring-shaped component (1) having an upper face (2) with a paraboloid shape that adapts to the pelvic paraboloid, and a posterior face (3) having the shape of a more-open paraboloid having, at its median part, a thicker part (8) allowing it to bear on the pelvic floor.

Abstract: A method for modelling the direction of incident abdominal pressures through a strait and directed towards the female pelvic cavity and for modelling the direction of pressures reflected by the pelvic paraboloid of an individual so as to allow correlating with occurrence of prolapses and incontinence in the said individual. The method includes compiling morphological data of a plane of a pelvic cavity strait by 3D cube MRI; modelling a center of gravity CG1 of the strait at a level at which the incident pressure vector penetrates in the true pelvis; modelling by 3D cube MRI a plane of a pelvic paraboloid, as well as an axis of the paraboloid; determining a CG2 reflection point of the incident vector on the plane; and determining the orientation of a reflected pressure vector.

Abstract: Device for fitting a uterine suspension prosthesis for the treatment of uterine prolapse, characterised in that it is constituted: on the one hand, by a helical guide catheter (1) produced from a rigid material and provided at its proximal end (P) with a lateral connector (5) of the Luer type capable of being connected to perfusion members, and, at its distal end (D), with a set of sprinkler-rose-type perforations (3), and on the other hand, by a connecting thread (2) which is capable of sliding in the internal portion of the guide catheter (1) and which is provided at its distal end with a rounded end-piece (7) which has an eye (8) enabling the prosthesis to be slid.

Abstract: A device for collecting fragments of walls of internal organs. The device includes a tube having an opened proximal end, furthest from the patient, and a distal end sealed except for a suction aperture, a sealed plunger adapted to move in the tube and connected to the distal end of a rod having a proximal end, opposite to the patient, provided with a griping member and apparatus provided towards the distal end of the tube and adjacent to the suction aperture for enhancing and increasing the mechanical action of collection of the tube on the wall. The surface of the outer wall of the tube, adjacent to the aperture, over at least a part of the periphery of the wall, is rougher than the rest of the tube.
