Abstract: Storage device for a guide wire or dilation balloon including a tank, and a frame including two walls forming between them an internal volume and including an insertion aperture. The frame includes an opening passing through the frame from one wall to the other, and a slot formed in the internal volume and communicating with the insertion aperture, the slot opening into the opening over part of its perimeter, referred to as open part. The tank includes a positioner configured to place the frame in a stowage position in which the open part of the slot is situated at least partly inside the tank and the insertion aperture extends outside the tank, the tank further including a stop configured to block the translational movement of the frame in directions of insertion and extraction of the guide wire or of the dilation balloon into and out of the frame.

Abstract: Device (1) for the implantation of an apparatus (40) on or in a mammalian internal organ, comprising: —a tube (10) for passing the apparatus through, one end (11) of which is intended to be applied to a site chosen for the implantation of the apparatus, and the other end of which is intended to emerge outside the body of the mammal, —fixing means (20) suitable for fixing the device on the organ and for applying the end of the tube to the chosen site, said means being controlled from outside the body, —rigidifying means (30) suitable for rigidifying the device, said means being controlled from outside the body, so as to fix the position of the tube relative to the fixing means and to the organ, once the device has been fixed on the organ and the end of the tube has been applied to the chosen site by the fixing means.
