  • Patent number: 5454833
    Abstract: A system for obturating an orifice in a perforated organ or vessel such as a vessel having undergone an operation. In the system a deformable obturator element capable of being introduced in a deformed state inside a member through the orifice is used. In a position of use the obturator element has a substantially flat face that is applied in a tight manner on an inner face of the organ or vessel. The obturator element has a first portion of wire unwindable by pulling from its center. The system also uses an extractor element that consists of a second portion of wire extending from substantially the center of the obturator element. The extractor element is used to bring the flat face into contact with the inner face of the organ. After the orifice has been obturated the extractor element is used to remove the obturator element from the orifice.
