Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable device, in particular for wall repair comprising a reinforcing textile implant having first and second surfaces, a bioadhesive coating to coat said first surface at least in part, said coating comprising at least one ionic, cross-linked bioadhesive polymer selected from among the following polymers: an acrylic acid polymer, methacrylic acid polymer, itaconic acid polymer, maleic acid polymer or maleic anhydride polymer having an adhesive function that can be activated in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: An anastomosis device for joining hollow lumens or viscera, suitable for deployment at the surface of two superposed adjacent lumens. The device has a main tubular body of longitudinal axis (L), having first and second open ends and opposite outside and inside faces. The main tubular body has at least three columns of loops and at least three rows of loops and sets of proximal and distal radial projections extending along at least a depth (E) at the peripheries of the first and second ends respectively. The distal and proximal sets are spaced apart by a minimum internal distance (D), and further include a set of intermediate radial projections extending along at most a depth (e) and arranged between the sets of proximal and distal radial projections. The depth (e) is less than (E), and the minimum internal distance (D) is determined so as to receive two superposed adjacent lumens.

Abstract: A textile implant, in particular for repairing hernias, the implant including a textile piece having a first face completely or partially covered in a bio-adhesive composition that is hydrosoluble and absorbable and that includes at least one bioadhesive polymer that is hydrosoluble and absorbable, with the adhesive function thereof being activatable in a moist or wet medium. The bio-adhesive composition includes less than 4% by weight of plasticizer.

Abstract: The invention provides an anastomosis device for joining together hollow lumens or viscera, the device being suitable for being deployed at the surface of two superposed adjacent lumens, said device comprising a main tubular body of longitudinal axis (L), having first and second open ends and opposite outside and inside faces, said main tubular body comprising at least three columns of loops and at least three rows of loops.

Abstract: The invention provides an implantable prosthesis (100) comprising: an adhesive portion (102) that is capable of forming adhesions with organic tissues, the adhesive portion presenting a first peripheral edge (102a) and; a non-adhesive portion (104) that inhibits the formation of adhesions with tissues, that is secured to the adhesive portion, and that presents a second peripheral edge (104a), the first peripheral edge (102a) being set back from the second peripheral edge (104a) so as to uncover the non-adhesive portion, in part, defining, between the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge, a non-adhesive peripheral band (106) that surrounds the adhesive portion (102); the adhesive portion (102) has a central portion, and presents the shape of a star that includes a plurality of branches (108) that extend from the central portion, the adhesive portion having a plurality of notches (109) that are situated between the branches.

Abstract: The invention relates to an instrument (10) intended to be used to modify the volume of the stomach of a patient. The invention is characterized in that the instrument comprises: a body (12) having a distal end (12a); a clamping device (16) comprising first (18) and second (20) arms pivotably mounted at the distal end (12a) of the body (12) while pivoting relative to each other, each of the first and second arms (18, 20) comprising a plurality of guides for passage of a suture needle; an opening device (30) for moving the first and second arms (18, 20) apart from each other by having them pivot relative to each other, said opening device comprising a spring member (32) connecting the first and second arms (18, 20) and tending to keep them apart from each other; and a closing device (40) for bringing the first and second arms (18, 20) together by having them pivot relative to each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable attachment device comprising an elongate element which is tubular flexible and hollow delimiting an internal volume comprising a tightening loop, having a first circumference in the inactive position, formed by the portion of said tubular element in said internal volume between intake and outlet openings distant by a length. The device comprises blocking means of said portion in the internal volume of said elongate element, which can be deactivated under the effect of manual traction exerted on the first or second end of said elongate element, said traction enabling the sliding of said elongate element between said orifices and correlatively the formation of the tightening loop having a second circumference in the active position, the second circumference being less than the first circumference.
