Abstract: A device includes an expandable implant and a hollow stent internally defining a central passage. The hollow stent defines a retention opening of the implant near the distal end thereof. The inventive device also includes a wire-type link for releasably fixing the implant to the stent, which has a traction section introduced into the opening and extending inside the central passage. For the wire-type link, the device includes an internal insulation channel arranged in the central passage and axially fixed with respect to the stent. The insulation channel receives only one wire-type link and defines a channel which is devoid of a link at least between the proximal end of the stent and the retention opening and is placed in the central channel.

Abstract: The radially deformable tubular prosthesis comprises a lattice that is deformable between a retracted state of small diameter and an expanded state of greater diameter. It includes at least two external hooks defining between them a clamp for hooking in external tissue, the two hooks being carried by the lattice and being movable between a spaced-apart position in which the clamp is open, and a closer-together position in which the clamp is closed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for injecting a liquid into a body, in particular that of a patient, of the type that comprises: a base (20) bearing an injection needle (22) that is to be inserted into the body; an injection conduit (24) connected to the needle (22); means (26) for extracting the needle (22) from the patient, including a plunger (52) mounted such that it can slide in relation to the base (20) between a needle (22) use position and a needle (22) extraction position; and means (28) for generating excess pressure in the injection conduit (24) as the needle (22) is extracted, including a flexible section (53) formed in the injection conduit (24), a cam surface (54) rigidly connected to the plunger (52), and a supporting surface rigidly connected to the base (20), in order to compress said flexible section (53) between the cam surface (54) and the supporting surface radially and perpendicularly to the needle (22) as the plunger (52) slides towards the needle (22) extraction position.

Abstract: An injection device comprises: a needle support; an injection needle which is fixedly joined to the needle support and which has a free end which is arranged with spacing from the needle support; and a mechanism for extracting the injection needle, comprising a base and a pushing member which can be moved relative to the base between a position in which the needle is used and a position in which the needle is extracted. The base is permanently connected to the needle support and can be moved relative to the needle support between an inactive position of the extraction mechanism and an active position of the extraction mechanism.

Abstract: A tubular endoprosthesis (10) having a flexible tubular skirt (12) designed to channel a body fluid. The endoprosthesis includes a collar (14) for connection of the skirt (12) through a lateral wall (110) of a tubular conduit (108). The connection collar (14) is initially joined to one end of the skirt (12) and has, at its periphery, elements (34) for securing it to the wall (110). The securing elements (34) are deformable between an initial docking position and a final connection position.
