  • Publication number: 20260137499
    Abstract: The invention relates to an occlusive cuff comprising: a band configured to be wound around an anatomical duct according to a fixed [OR constant] circumference; an unstretched inflatable pouch on an inner face of the band, configured to be fluidically connected to an external fluid container; the unstretched inflatable pouch extending over less than or equal to 75% of the circumference; the occlusive cuff being operable between an occluding configuration wherein the inflatable pouch is filled with fluid to exert a compression onto the anatomical duct for occluding the anatomical duct without pinching the anatomical duct, and a released configuration wherein the inflatable pouch is deflated to release the compression onto the anatomical duct and at least partially open the anatomical duct.

  • Patent number: 12551324
    Abstract: The invention relates to an occlusive cuff for selectively occluding an anatomical duct. The occlusive cuff has a band suited to surrounding an anatomical duct, provided with a closing device suited to maintaining the band wound upon itself over a determined length and an inflatable reservoir arranged on an inner face of the band. The cuff is characterised in that the inflatable reservoir extends over only a part of the length of the band, another part of the length defining a free inner surface of the band configured to form a bearing zone for the anatomical duct, such that when the band is maintained wound upon itself by the closing device, the inflatable reservoir is opposite said free inner surface of the band.
