  • Patent number: 8343087
    Abstract: A prosthetic device for creating a vascular bypass from an arterial vessel has at least one prosthetic tube joined to an orifice of a flexible collar. The prosthetic tube extends from an outer face of the collar. The collar has an inner face surface for attachment to the arterial vessel. The collar has a connection zone has an annular cavity extending around and away from the orifice. The annular cavity is suitable for receiving an injected glue or bioabsorable haemostatic product so as to attach to the arterial vessel.

  • Publication number: 20110021969
    Abstract: Prosthetic device for creating a vascular bypass from an arterial vessel, in particular from the aorta, which can have substantial collateral branches, characterized in that the device includes one or more prosthetic tubes of which one of the ends is joined to a flexible fixing collar with an outer face and an inner face which is configured to be applied to the outer wall of the arterial vessel. The collar has one or more orifices arranged in a central or orifice zone, and which communicate with the prosthetic tube or tubes. The collar has a connection zone arranged around the orifice zone at a distance from the edge of the orifice or orifices, and which is configured to be fixed to the outer wall of an arterial vessel. The inner face of this connection zone having at least one feature for creating an annular sealing zone around the orifice zone.

  • Publication number: 20080243154
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surgical instrument for the ablation of diseased veins, particularly saphenous veins. The surgical instrument includes a stripping member or olive-shaped member, a traction probe, and a return thread, which can be used to move the olive in opposite directions. In addition, the anterior part of the olive, according to the direction of movement of same during the application of the operating method, is equipped with an axial cavity which is open at the front end of the anterior part, so as to define a circular stripping lip. The stripping olive includes an essentially-cylindrical anterior part and a posterior part having a circular cross-section, which are defined by a circular recess. The circular front end of the posterior part has a diameter greater than that of the anterior part.
