Abstract: The present invention relates to a treatment kit comprising: a guide having a distal end and a proximal end; a position determination device for determining the position of the distal end of the guide in the body of a patient; and a catheter intended to be inserted into the body of the patient. The guide is graduated between its distal end and its proximal end, the graduations of the guide making it possible to measure a length of insertion of the guide into the body of the patient, and the catheter is adapted so as to be cut to a predetermined length that is determined based on the length of insertion.

Abstract: An attachment device for securing an elongated element on the body of a patient is provided which includes a retaining support for retaining the elongated element, including at least one lower wall and an adhesive strip bearing the retaining support, and intended to be applied on the skin of the patient, the adhesive strip defining at least one region of the attachment device shifted with respect to the lower wall. A region of the attachment device located under the lower wall along an axis for inserting the elongated element into the retaining support is intended to be non-adherent to the skin of the patient. The retaining support comprises a clasping flap able to be maneuvered with respect to the lower wall between an open position and a clasping position of the elongated element. The elongated element is intended to be maintained between the lower wall and the clasping flap.

Abstract: A kit according to the invention includes a tool and an implantable chamber. The implantable chamber comprises a hollow main body delimiting an internal volume opening outwards via a main opening. It further comprises a septum mounted on the main body to close the main opening, and at least one conduit extending from the main body. It also comprises a displacement member, movable relative to the main body, that projects from the main body via the conduit and actuates or sets in motion an element situated in the body of the patient. It lastly comprises a drive mechanism for driving the displacement member situated in the internal volume of the main body, in order to move the displacement member with respect to the main body. The tool includes a proximal maneuvering region and a distal region that is capable of piercing the septum to actuating the drive mechanism.

Abstract: The device according to the invention includes a hollow body delimiting an inner passage. It further includes an assembly for maintaining the material in position in the inner passage. The maintaining assembly includes a radially compressible member delimiting, when idle, a through passage aperture of the material, and a radial compression member compressing the compressible member, radially movable relative to an axis of the passage aperture to outwardly compress the compressible member. It includes a member for actuating the or each compression member, radially movable relative to the body to cause the compression member to go from a radially retracted position, in which the section of the passage aperture is maximal, to a position radially deployed in the compressible member, in which the section of the passage aperture is minimal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device capable of stopping the bleeding caused by the withdrawal of an introducer stuck into an introduction area of a patient. The device comprises: a base; a supporting means capable of temporarily attaching the base to the patient; an applicator supported by the base and provided with a transparent pad; and a screw-and-nut adjustment means capable of moving the applicator toward the introduction area so that the applicator moves to a position where the pad exerts pressure on the introduction area. The screw-and-nut system is located completely outside the diameter of the transparent pad. The invention can be used for angiography and angioplasty operations.

Abstract: This kit includes an injection device comprising a needle having a free end pricked into a septum of an implantable chamber and an intermediate tubing connected downstream to the needle. The kit includes an upstream conduit having an upstream end connected to a liquid dispensing apparatus and a downstream end removably connected to the intermediate tubing. The pressure loss through the upstream conduit is greater than 25% of the total pressure loss taken between the upstream end of the upstream conduit and the free end of the needle, upon injecting liquid through the upstream conduit and the injection device.

Abstract: The medical device (10) has a prop (12) extending between a proximal end (12A) and a distal end, a nose (16) in the form of a perforating tip, secured to the distal end of the prop (12), a sheath (18), in which the prop (12) is housed, which can be moved by sliding between a first position in contact with the nose (16), and a second position spaced away from the nose (16), and at least one tube (22) extending in the sheath (18) between a proximal end (22A), accessible outside the sheath (18), and a distal end (22B) secured to the nose (16), the tube (22) having at least one perforation (24) near its distal end (22B). Each tube (22) can be radially deployed between a retracted configuration, in which each tube (22) can be covered by the sheath (18), and a radially protruding deployed configuration.
